In 2007:
For Parcels:
Additional area labels need to be done with a General Note label that contains a parcel reference. Use a different text size and layer. You should be able to reference parcel area, number and other things. In 2006, you are SOL. There are work arounds, but they all involve maintaining two drawings, or having to go in and toggle a different label before you plot.
this doesn't show you how, but:

Too easy.
Make two Major Station labels (and two of the others, too) Then, include BOTH of them in your label set. If you make the one Major label style at .08 on Layer BIGTEXT and another MAjor Station label style at 0.04 on a Layer called LITTLETEXT. Including both sizes of each type of alignment label in your label set will mean you don't have to go back through. That should work in 2006 as well.
Freeze and thaw as appropriate
The truth is, I don't do much else in life. I hang out with my daughter and my dogs, and Mr. Probert, too. He works for the DOT, so he is out picking up trees and setting up sandbags today.
I like Civil 3D. I find it entertaining. But I can't always promise such turn-around
