MapPoint 2006 doesn't show County borders?

Hi folks, anyone know how to make MapPoint 2006 show county borders within a state?

Here's what I did -- I set up a custom territory comprised of all counties in the state of Missouri by selecting the counties individually through the Territory menu. So CLEARLY, it knows where the county borders are. But the problem is that it doesn't display those borders on the final output.

I do notice that MapPoint 2006 will show me county borders if I zoom in enough, but at a state level zoom, it doesn't. I saw an example from someone else who did a county-level map for Florida and it showed dotted lines for county borders. How did they do that?!? When I do the exact same thing, it only shows the names of the counties, not the county borders. Thanks in advance.

I have a "cheating" way to do it that's not ideal, by creating a Shading by County. But that introduces other problems where adjacent counties sometimes will be the same color, so not ideal.

Re: MapPoint 2006 doesn't show County borders?

this is a great question and one that is driving me a little crazy in trying to figure out.
I guess the answer is, "no county lines for you!"

Does ANYone know a way to create visible county borders???
