Can I “stack” labels in ArcMap (ArcView) without Maplex?

Question

I do not see any obvious setting for stacking labels in ArcMap (ArcView license). Am I missing something or do i have to write a complex expression to stack my labels?

Answer 1

You can write an expression, but its not complex. Just type in "vbnewline" between the fields you want to label on, and it will create a stacked label.

[FIELD1] & vbnewline & [FIELD2]

Answer 2

This works:

 Function FindLabel([Name]) 
  var = [Name]
  result = ""   
  splitStr = Split(var, chr(32))
  for i = 0 to UBound(splitStr)
     tmpStr = Trim(splitStr(i))
      if len(tmpStr) > 0 then 
         if result = "" then
         result = tmpStr 
     else
        result = result & vbnewline & tmpstr    
     end if
      end if
  splitStr(i) = tmpStr
  next
  FindLabel = result
End Function
