Click on any country in Africa, at the position where you want the label to start. The country will automatically be labeled with its name. You can label as many countries as you like. Notice that when you add a label, four handles frame it. You can move the labels where you like.
Handles appear around the label to show that it is selected.
Now drag it anywhere you like. You can also drag one of the selected label's handles with the Pointer tool to resize the text in the label. When you are finished working with the labels, you can deselect any labels that are still selected by clicking on the map with the Pointer tool anywhere where there's not a label. Now, that you have created a nice map of Africa with labels of various countries, you need a way to include it in your report. The next step will involve preparing your map for inclusion in your report.
