I have an excel file with names, addresses, and radius'. How do I import the list and automatically get the radius for each one in the map? Right now, after I import the addresses, I click on each one individually and add the radius but I know there has to be an easier way. -- thanks, Ana :eek2:

A way this could be automated is to select all of the pushpins with the same radius (assuming they are named or otherwise identifiable) into an array of pushpins and then zoomto.
That would give you the point where center of the radius belongs, encircling the pushpins.

How do I select all the pushpins? I tried holding down CTRL... Did I forget to mention I am not an expert on MapPoint? :)
