To label all of the symbols:

   1. Set the Selection Type to Object Type.

   2. Set the Object Type to Point.

   3. Click Select and all of the symbols are selected.

   4. Click Close to close the dialog.

3. In the Property Manager, click the next to the Label Properties section, if necessary.
