   Select the property whose data will be displayed in the labels.

2. In the Style Label dialog box, for Property To Display, select LAND_VALUE. Leave the other settings at their current values for now.
3. Click OK to close the Style Label dialog box. Click OK again to apply the theme to your map.
4. Close the Style Editor so you can see your map again.
5. Use the Zoom Window tool to zoom in so you can see the labels.

6. Save your map.

In the map, the parcels are colored to represent their relative values, which are displayed as labels on each parcel.
