I wish there was a MapPoint forum, but this is the closest forum I could
find...

I am trying to map data from an Excel spreadsheet.
I had a list of Employees and the State they came from.
I did a "count per state" and made a new list.
I used that list to generate a data map in MapPoint. (so far, so good)

What I can't seem to figure out is how to get the numbers for each state to
display in the state, I customized the shading and everything, but unless I
do a "mouse-over" the numbers don't display.

What am I missing? I need to print these out with numbers. Right now, I have
to copy the map into a drawing program, add a layer and enter the numbers by
hand.
