I am sure that what I am about to ask is quite simple for those with experience, but experience in MapPoint 2002 is not what I have. I have an Excel file of employee address information (across the entire US...about 100 total). I can create a pushpin for each person in the spreadsheet. However, what I would like to do is provide some type of label that indicates that emplyee's last name so that it can be easiy referenced. The other thing I need is to be able to provide this map either in Excel or Word so that each employee can reference it to identify the whereabouts of other employees. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

See if you can set the name of the pushpin to the person's last name - also, you might take a look at the pushpin tool ($75): http://www.mp2kmag.com/downloads/pushpin.tool/ it helps you manage the balloons. As for putting the maps into Word, see the article on embedding: http://www.mp2kmag.com/articles.asp?...edding.in.word . Each client would need MapPoint installed - otherwise, look at doing screenshots: http://www.mp2kmag.com/articles.asp?...nshot.tutorial
