  4. Getting map or picture on slide • Copy map (picture) from web page. • Paste the result onto a blank Powerpoint slide. • Zoom in (Ctrl + scroll on mouse). • Shrink/Expand map to fit Powerpoint slide. • Drag and push map in to fit on slide. • Zoom back out to work. • Begin Cropping off any access material.

  5. Cropping map 1. Make map active by clicking with mouse • Activate Picture Tools • Get cropping tool and crop picture • then after you have cropped things use the compress picture tool.

  6. Adding a Text Box • From Insert click Text Box then click and drag across the screen, adjust to location and size. • Can adjust text and things as desired

  7. Highlighting things on the Map • From Home select shape. • Place and adjust on the map. • Change fill to “no fill”

  8. Adding Neat Lines • For some reason cartographers have always liked to place neat lines around maps and other boxes. (below found under Picture Tools) • Make the picture or box active, choose a neat line from the picture tools and click

  9. Parts to a final Map • Title – Always • Cartographic Material – Always and should dominate the space • Metadata – Always (originator, date, source, contact) keep small • Legend – To extent possible • Compass Rose and/or Locator Map – To extent possible • Scale – To extent possible • Subtitles – As necessary to provide clear explanation

  10. Critiquing the Map • Too much white space • Title could be a bit smaller • Expand cartographic material • If possible add compass rose/locator map • Consider moving the legend onto the cartographic material • Consider shrinking the metadata and making as single line • Can we find a scale? • Make metadata smaller perhaps one line
