Hi everyone, I'm wondering if it's possible to have labels wrap if beyond a specified number of characters. If a text entry is fairly long it looks a bit cumbersome. I searched the help and nothing jumped out at me.

Thanks in advance, Andrew.

EDIT: Sorry, just found this. Still pretty cumbersome though...

It is also possible to insert carriage return characters into the text. It is written up somewhere here that I couldn't find. These threads gets close, but I think there is a better one I couldn't find.

Basically you need to copy the linebreak from notepad or similar, paste it into the manifold table. It isn't visible in the table but shows up in labels.

Again, not the same as having a text wrap feature, but helps, particularly for legends. Manually splitting the field probably works better for labels.
