Description

This hands-on half-day workshop explores labels and annotation in ArcGIS, and will help you become more skilled in using both.

Labels are dynamic text on a map. They provide useful information about the map features you see, and automatically display and move around as the extent of the map changes. Labels are helpful when you are examining data on a map interactively.

Annotation is also text on a map but, unlike labels, they have a fixed location and do not change position as the map extent changes. They are used when you want exact control over the placement of text, especially on map output such as printed copies or exported pdf files.
