I have connected several shape files from the local assessment office...parcel boundaries, roads, streams, etc. I need to get the parcel number, name and address, and deed book and page to show up centered on each parcel. How can I get this data to appear in the map. When I highlight each parcel, it all shows up in the properties box.

You need to add the labels in the STYLE dialog for the connected layers. In the feature label column pick on the little icon with the 3 dots. In the Style Label dialog select "Use Expression" for the text content. In the expression editor dialog you need to use the concat and new line '\n' syntax to make it multiline. Click on the Getting Started at the bottom of the dialog for some help on it.

 

Off Topic: Have you ever stayed or visited Buckaloons campgrounds? My family (bro/sis/cousins etc.) spent the week end there.
