The way the marker appears is affected by both the Marker Style and the Size Properties. The Size settings are different for circle labels and line labels. For example:
For a Line style label, the angle of the line can be changed by using the Text location to choose the quadrant around the point of interest, then using the Width and Height settings to control the direction in that quadrant.
For a Circle label, the size Properties become Diameter and Offset for adjusting the text position relative to the circle.
