To Add Plot Area Labels

Add multiple area labels to a single plot.

You can control the display of plot area labels separately for each viewport. A plot can support more than one area label in addition to the embedded area selection label. With multiple area labels per plot, you can use layer control to display a different label for each viewport with the correct orientation. You can also manage multiple plot labels with the Edit Plot Properties dialog box.
