4 Click the Add Code to Text Format button to place the category/code in the
Text/Code/Formula Format Order list. Preview how the text appears by looking
directly above this list at the Preview Formatted Text section.

clicking the Add Code to Text Format button. If you have more than one code
defined, then use the <Move Left and Move Right> buttons to control the order
of the codes as they appear in the labels.
NOTE
You can only use one Code Category per label style, but you can use more
than one Code per label style if you want the label to identity more than one
item, such as Station and Elevation.

enter the text string into the Text Data edit box and click the Add button.
NOTE
You can create Text Labels in paragraph format by using the characters {}
and \P. See Creating Text Labels in Multi-Line Format for more
information on how to use this feature. To remove an item from the
Text/Code/Formula Format Order list, select it and click the Delete button.
7 To set the numeric format of a label, click Numeric Format.
8 Click OK to exit the dialog box, or Cancel to cancel the command.
After you have formatted the Text Label style, use the Create/Edit Frame
command to attach the Text Label to a frame. For more information, see
