I can't remember how to make a label so that there is an invisible background surrounding it. So that if it's placed over an object, the parts of the object immediately surrounding the label are blanked out. I can't remember what this is called.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

It's called a background mask. The catch is that you can't apply it to a text object, only multitext. If necessary, you can use the Express tool TXT2MTXT to convert your text to multitext. Then call up the properties of that multitext and open the dialogue box for "Background mask." If it's a multileader instead of a multitext, you can turn the Background mask on and off, but you have to define the mask inside the text editor.

 

If it's a dimension, you can specify a "Fill color," including "Background."
