Idaho Fish and Game

Multi-line & Multi-colored Labels in ArcMap

idfg-pbond

Right-click the layer you would like to create multicolor/multi-line, choose Properties… and go to the Labels tab, and click the “Expression…” button.

For example, to have the New ID on top and the Old ID on the bottom:

[New_ID]&vbnewline&[Old_ID]

To have each a different color:

” & [New_ID] & “” &vbnewline&””&[Old_ID]&”

The tricky part was figuring out that you had to put double quotes around the formatted text, and drop the normal double quote down to a single quote around the 255.
