See county names through graphics

I've gotten as far as importing Excel data into MapPoint and generating a by-county map using the differently-sized polka-dots. Unfortunately, some are large enough to cover the county-names, some are located to the left/right/above/...

Is there a way to make those polka-dots transparent? Or always to the bottom right of the county-name? ... or ???

Thanks

Jeff B.

Re: See county names through graphics

Hi Jeff,

There really isn't much control over the map results until
after the map has been turned into a picture (rasterized)

Here are some samples of things I been able to do
