I am unable to edit my labels in the Labeled Graphic interaction. I don't have that option in my ribbon. I even saw it in a tutorial and it should be so easy. Where is the option to edit a label - such as adding a border or changing the color?
Which version of Engage are you currently using, '09 or '13?
The following Engage '13 tutorial will walk you through changing the color of markers, as well as the style. You can also change the position, animation, transparency and more:
Hi Christine. I have Studio Pro 13. The only editing I can do with the label is changing the font. I need to change the background color of the label and add a border. Right now the label is getting washed out by the white background of my slide and other elements in the background.
You're referring to the "bubble" that contains the description of the label, correct?
If so, you can change this by going to Colors >> Create New Theme Colors.
Here, you can modify the Content colors - for example, if you change the first color in this section, it will change the background of the label text area. If you change the second color, that will change the text color.
Here's a job aid that I'd recommend keeping on hand for this and future projects where you might like to have custom colors:
OH! I didn't realize the color theme applied to labels. Because the Marker Colors and Properties were in the ribbon I thought the Labels would be there too. Thanks so much for directing me to the right place.

I'm not sure if you're wanting to change the section that houses the text, title, or marker - but that tutorial should help.
If you're using '09 instead, or if you have any questions, please let us know.
Best,
