Tips
•
To make multiple graphic items the same size, press the SHIFT key on your
keyboard and select each item. Then, right-click, point to Make Same Size, and
click Width, Height, or Both. When you attempt to make multiple items the
same size, the largest item is always the basis for the size change. Important:
For an item to be made the same size as another item, the item must not be
locked — for example, the Maintain Aspect Ratio check box should be cleared for
any images, only text items with default size text boxes can be resized, and so
on.

To delete multiple text or graphic items, click the Edit tool, drag the mouse on
the map to encompass the items you want to delete, and then press the DELETE
key on your keyboard.
Snapping Text and Graphic Items on Your Map
After you add a text or graphic tool to your map, you can snap each item to the
location you want it by dragging the item along the edges of the map or by dragging
the item to snap it to the horizontal center of the page.
To disable the auto-snap function, hold down the ALT key on your keyboard while
dragging the text/graphic items on the map.

Use the following steps to snap text and graphic items on a printed map.
1. Add text or graphics to your map.
