To Manually Assemble a Multi-page Map
Use the following steps to manually assemble a multi-page map.
1. For each sheet that needs to be trimmed, mark the edges of the sheet to indicate the
areas to trim.
2. Use the straight edge ruler and razor knife to trim each sheet to the thin black line
bordering the map.
Note For adjacent sheets, trim only one page. This makes piecing the sheets
together easier.
The following diagrams of a 2 x 2 and 3 x 3 multi-page map provide additional
information on where to trim the sheets. The arrows indicate the edges to be
trimmed.
