Remarks

Set the MarkerSymbol you wish to use as a background using the Symbol property. The ScaleToFit property defaults to False--set this property to True if you want the Symbol to draw large enough to fit the entire text string. The Symbol object's Size property does not actually change, only its appearance when drawn.
