With UK census - there are boroughs, wards and smaller census output areas. These are explained at www.statistics.gov.uk/census2001/op12.asp

I think I should be able to import the vector information for output areas into Mappoint - but haven't manged to make it work. Please can you help?

I would also like to print off a basic map with boundaries - then print off additional information on transparencies that could be laid over the basic map to show different sets of demographic information. Is it possible to print different layers in Mappoint, or export layers to another application to print??

Thank you - Lesley
