Request 1: Changing Location of River Label

I am trying to change the position of the name of a river. Is it possible to do this? The only way I can figure out a way to do so is to make a completely new label and then hide the original label. (But this hides all the other river labels...)

Responses:

I now see how David's suggestion works. When you duplicate/hide, the original is hidden, and one can reset the new label wherever and however one chooses. The original is not 'lost.' It simply is hidden, and it can be unhidden using Show/Hide (CTRL-R). 

Request 2: Displaying 12 Tribes

I am unable to view or print maps with the boundaries for the 12 tribes.  I have selected from DISPLAY the period of the Judges and have tried using the SHOW/HIDE tool to include these boundaries.  What am I doing wrong?  Or can you give me the steps I need to use?

My Email is res9 at charter dot net

Thanks

Responses:

1. Start with the  blankmap.mat (save this to your templates subdirectory under Program Files/BarrettWare/Bible Mapper 3/Templates)
2. Using the Display menu, on the Include tab, choose Political Boundaries (and also choose "Custom Objects" to display any customizations. Cf. #7 below.)
3. Using the Display menu, on the Period tab, choose Exodus and Judges
4. Using the Display menu, on the Other tab, choose Fill Boundaries and Full (Partial fill also works, but in this instance doesn't look so good)
5. On the Show/Hide Objects menu, click to move all the Boundaries so that they show
6. Center and zoom (about 35%) to Israel, and you should see something like this:  12Tribes.map
7. You will note on the map I give, that I edited the "Benjamin" label a bit so that it is more legible at the 35% zoom. To do this, I used CTRL-F to find Benjamin (boundary), right clicked, edit/modify selected object, Yes to create custom based on std map object. Used CTRL-F again to find Benjamin (custom), right clicked, edit selected, unclick "use defined style," click to make label visible, and played around with it from there to get the label position and font as I desired. Uncheck "show line/border" and "fill area."
