st: Labels in spmap

Hi Statalist,
I'm trying to fit labels into regions of a choropleth map, but many of
the labels are spilling out of their respective regions and
overlapping with each other. I would like to solve this problem by
making some labels appear as two lines, but I do not know how to do
this. I'm using spmap in Stata 11.2 on a Mac.
For example, instead of:
Los Angeles
I would like the label to appear:
Los
Angeles
Decreasing the text size did not solve the overlap problem.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to Stata so I
apologize if this is extremely elementary. I searched the archives and
other resources but didn't find an answer.
Thank you very much,
Alexis Captanian
