Multi-line Legend in ArcGIS 10.1

It used to be a real pain to create a multi-line legend in ArcGIS.
ArcGIS 10.1 now makes it easy.
The new Legend editor dialog box lets you “Wrap labels” and set a width for the legend, automatically over-flowing text onto a new line.
This is a great time saver and really enhances the readability of maps with large or detailed legends. Gone are the days of having work out the best place to paste in a line break.
