How do I enlarge or reduce a group of countries, states or counties?
To enlarge several countries, states or counties you need to GROUP them together. 1. Hold down the shift key and using the pointer CLICK on the countries, states or counties you want to enlarge together. 2. With the countries, states or counties selected click on the DRAW popup menu in the TOOL BAR along the bottom and choose GROUP. 3. You will now see just 8 handles on your grouped selection. Place your pointer over one the the lower corner handles. Click, and hold down the mouse button and drag the handle in a diagonal direction. This will enlarge the grouping. Release your button when you have the correct size. Pulling out and the group will enlarge, moving in towards the center will reduce. Holding down the SHIFT key will keep things proportional. 4. Text elements will need to be re-adjusted manually. UNGROUP them and move where needed. The text can also be resized using the font tools along the top of the screen.
