Enlarging a Map in PowerPoint, Easy to Do
We had an excellent question on printing out oversize maps from PowerPoint.
QUESTION: I would like to not only use your maps in my presentation, but also print them out on up to tabloid sized paper. Can I do that? Would it take a special software application? Or can I print right out of PowerPoint onto tabloid.
OUR ANSWER: The answer is yes. All of our maps are in vector format and can be enlarged or reduced to whatever size you want. The best way to do this is to make up a larger PowerPoint slide, say 11x17inches and then copy the map into the slide and then enlarge it. Check out Document Setup to make a larger slide.
The key thing to remember here is to set up the slide first then copy the map in and enlarge it. If you try to enlarge a standard size slide with a map in it, it will become distorted, so make the slide large first then paste the map in and then enlarge. You will also need a larger format printer or plotter to print the map out.
We also have a good instructional video on this topic.
If you have Adobe Illustrator then it is also very easy to enlarge, check out www.bjdesign.com for all of those maps

Plotting Locations on PowerPoint Maps
A question we get a lot is about can you plot store locations, third party sites, sales offices etc. on our maps.
The answer is yes it is very easy. Our PowerPoint maps are fully editable and they are easy to color, add text, move stuff around. They make a great solution for sending out info on your locations. PowerPoint files email very easily and can be opened by almost anyone in the business world.
You can put little stars or boxes, color them, make them any size, they are easy to move around. If you need to add text, just use the text tool, type what you want, format it and then put it where you need.
Take a look at our How Do I Add Text to a PowerPoint Map video for some additional info. I am going to see if I can grab a moment and do an additional video on this topic.
