Dragged label text can be displayed as composed, which means that it is displayed the same way when dragged as when it is originally inserted, or it can be stacked. When stacked, all blocks, lines, and direction arrows are removed.
You can also define the leader attachment position, which defines where the leader appears in relation to the label content.
You can add borders around stacked label text, and specify how the text is justified. Label text is left-justified when the leader is on the left side of the text and is right-justified when the leader is on the right, as shown in the following illustration.
However, you can set the label text to be always left-justified regardless of the location of the leader, as shown in the following illustration.
To control how label text appears when dragged
- In the Label Style Composer dialog box, click the Dragged State tab.
- Under Dragged State Components, change the Display value to either As Composed or Stacked Text.
Note
When you use the As Composed setting, you may need to adjust the text attachment point on the Layout tab to prevent the leader from crossing the text. For more information, see Anchor Points and Attachment Points.
- If you select Stacked Text, specify the border and leader values, including the Leader Justification value:
- True. Text is right-justified when the leader is on the left side of the text and is left-justified when the leader is on the right.
- False. Text is always left-justified regardless of the location of the leader.
