Hi Jeff, Another option, assuming I'm understanding you needs correctly. Would be to do what Chobbs suggested, except you would have to export the layer if you didn't want to. From the selection tool box (Tools pull down, Selection), there are four little Icons to the right of the tool box. The Icon at the lower right or 4th quadrant , allows you to show ONLY the selection set you choose.
However if you want to create a map that show you selected countries and all the additional world layers, such as rivers, world places, etc, etc, etc..., then you could use one of Maptitudes Geographic Utility functions. After selecting you countires, go to the "Tools" pulldown menu, select "Geographic Utilties", and select "Multi Clipper...:". Besure that your active layer is the layer you want as you subset, then from the "Multi-Clipper" menu you can choose which layers you want clipped to your countrie boundaries. I'm use Mapt 4.8, I'll be upgrading soon but not sure if the tools or functions have changed much between versions (Pg 456 in 4.8 manuel or I'm use you can search the online help.) Hope this helps.
