There is another but more difficult way to do it.

Open the desired map file using MS Word or Wordpad, scroll all the way down, and you'll find all of the location names.

You can edit the text as desired, and then save. The new text will then appear in the original location on map.

Text size and color might be able to be changed too, but I haven't tried it myself. There are some numerical values after the text entries, and I think they might control this.

I last used this method changing the DF '85 map when someone pointed out a few incorrect Austrian city names in the new Bolt 10.0 scenario.

As far as sub maps go, I don't know if changes to the master effect them or vice versa.

Amazing, thanks! Now need figure it out what exactly all numerical values mean. 

"194.346 244.667 0 1 0 Savin".  "194, 244" - its coordinates.
I guess that there should be "type", "size" and "justification" (probably 3 last values). But what "346" and "667" mean after coodinates ...
