Maplex
Getting started with Maplex
Using Maplex to set label positions
Label fitting strategies

Why use additional strategies for placing labels?

Stacking labels

Allowing labels to overrun the length of a feature

Reducing the size of the labels text

Abbreviating words to place more labels

Specifying a minimum feature size for labeling
Resolving label conflicts

Preventing labels from overlapping certain features

Setting labels to be background labels

Removing duplicate labels within a given radius

Making sure all the labels for a label class are placed

Specifying a label buffer distance to change the space between labels
