[Qgis-user] labels

[Jake Maier]

I guess I'm getting old and slow comprehending, but I still can't make these
labels work. I created 2 additional fields in the shape file as xcoord and
ycoord, and I used all the placement options and used xcoord and ycoord in
the data defined settings, still I can't move an individual label where I
want it. The move label does not turn black neither does the rotate label.
What am I still missing.
Thanks for your time
Jake
