I have a project that requires me to show 20 community Services in a half mile radius. When adding the addresses and place markers, they overlap and some are blocked out. My first thought is that if I could reduce the font size they might all show. But I'm not finding how to do that. OR, can someone show me a better way?
Thank You

The font size of layer labels is set in the Options dialog (the Choose 3D Font button).
The font size of placemarks we create is set by the kml codes of the kml file. You can change their font size either
1. by editing the kml file manually or
2. by changing the label size in the Properties window that can be opened via the context menu.
In the first alternative, you need to open the kml file with Notepad and add some codes within every instance of Style tag you find. For instance, the below code
<Style id="s_ylw-pushpin_hl3">
...
</Style>needs to be changed to
<Style id="s_ylw-pushpin_hl3">
<LabelStyle><scale>0.8</scale></LabelStyle>
...
</Style>
If you choose the second alternative, it will be difficult for you to edit the Properties of every placemark one by one. Instead, you can use the context menu of the folder of the placemarks and click the "Share Style" button. If the styles of all the placemarks are the same, this will work. If not (for example, one placemark is red and another is white), you have to edit the kml file manually.
