I would like to edit a bunch of pipe descriptions via the prospector and would like to include a carriage return to make it multiple lines. Is this doable?

Good suggestion. I thought it might work too, but too bad. I hear 2012 has max width in the lable style - that would be helpful.
With regards to the max width on the label styles, here's something I did with them: http://civil3dplus.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/automatically-adjust-pipe-labels-for-pipe-length/
Really cool application of this new option.

I'm aware of the \X (especially to put dimension text above and below the dim line - any other uses for it??) but what does the \P do??

The \P pushes the first line up. The \X doesn't work, but \P does... ~ Mary
Thanks - I played about with these see screen shot

I tried with parcels yesterday in 2012 and it didn't work. I know I have tried it in many releases w/o success. Go figure. I'll check pipes in 2012 again soon. Thanks Mary.

It is hit and miss,mostly miss, where they work. Very frustrating that the developers didn't use the same text formatting parameters with every type of label.
