It sounds like the method I'm using now is the best. I just thought there may have been a way to accomplish this in the layout view for presentation or something. I went through a modified a shape file of counties and selected by region and spaced them out by hand. I know this completely eliminates the whole Idea behind GIS and having data in the proper location, but the data layers don't change often, just the data in the attribute tables changes from time to time. I mainly need to display information within each county like county codes, county names, employees who cover those areas, so at this time this will be good.
Thanks for all the help, if anyone thinks of another way just let me know.
