The attributes of a label are modified using the Label Tools Format tab, which displays when a label is selected.

Labels reflect the visual layers from the label template as long as the corresponding label properties are set to By Template (or By Style with the style properties set to By Template). Setting the label properties to By Layer overrides the label template and forces the use of the appropriate local sheet layer.
