TEXT "Label" Shortcomings...we need something else

ok GS, we need an solution to the "text label" leader arrow shortcomings.
Getting too many employer complaints about...."Why can't (WE) get the leader close to the text?"
.....and please, that "centered" justification aint cutting' it either...makes the letters just too far apart and 'looks' akward.
What else can you suggest?

How about learning how to label without fixed text widths?

RTFM page 1806. Double click to place your label text.

Consider starting your text with a blank line or two.

Cheers,

There's a manual?

You could "Right Justify" the text

There's ALWAYS been a manual and RTFM is a way of saying, you should read it.

I fell for it.
But then, I believe people when they tell me I'm gullible.

Thanks for the reminder Eduardo.
I've forgotten the PDF manual was there.
I always default to the browser version.
Same content... (but no page numbers).
