Is there a way to manually label and set pins on Maps without having to subdivide my stories into smaller blocks and then dragging and dropping them over?

Thanks!

You can't create a pin on a map any way, other than dragging them and dropping them on the map. So I suppose the answer is no. But you'll have a story entry for each section of the map anyway don't you?

I do - when I create my modules, I create a single story entry for each 'chapter'.

It's not taking that long to copy and paste to break it up for pins, I just wish when you did that it would copy the paragraph formatting and encounters. :)

Thanks!

Make a copy of the story and edit the copy. That way you'll preserve the links and formatting. So if you want to break a single story into four parts make three copies and edit each down to the bits you want. Don't forget to renumber the entries so you know what story refers to which bit of the map or whatever.
