142 Chapter 7 Getting Familiar with Autodesk MapGuide Author
Although most users work with maps almost exclusively online, it is very
useful to be able to print out a map. If you are authoring a map, you might
want to print it out, to verify that it looks the way you want it to look, before
publishing it online. Or, if you are working with the map to answer specific
questions, such as determining the best location for a new store or substa-
tion, you might want to print out the map that accompanies a report you
generated to present to others on your team.
You can customize your printed maps by including a title, a legend, a scale
bar, a North arrow, the map's URL, and the current date and time. Also, you
can specify the scale of the map you want to print, or you can have
MapGuide automatically scale the map to fit the printed page.
You use the File Page Setup command to specify how to print your map.

For step-by-step instructions, choose Help
and look up "page setup" and "printing maps."
