We get asked this question fairly often on how to use our editable Powerpoint maps to make up blank map copy master for a school worksheet or presentation. It is real easy to do and this short video will take you through the steps
It is easy to make a blank, printable, outline Canada for marking up,
coloring, school project, whatever you need from our royalty free
downloadable PowerPoint clip art maps. Watch the video to learn how to
take a basic World of Maps map, select it and change the colors to have a
map with sharp, clean vector lines for your project. It is very easy to
produce a clean blank printable map.
1. After purchasing and
downloading our editable PowerPoint mapyou're your project, open it in
PowerPoint. For our example we are using a Canada map.
2. Select
the map with your pointer by clicking in the upper left corner of the
slide and dragging the pointer over the entire map so that it is
completely surrounded by the light blue field. Once you release you
finger all the land will be selected. You can also do this by choosing
Select All in the Edit pull down menu. You can also hold the SHIFT key
and select each province individually.
3. Once everything is
selected you can go to the Formatting Palette or up in the Ribbon --
Colors, Weights, and Fills and choose the Fill Bucket and fill the map
with the color white. I like using the white fill instead of nothing
because it is easier to select a province with color in it if you want
to customize it later. If you have no fill you have to grab the line to
select it, with a color fill you can click anywhere on the state to
select it. That is it, you are ready to go, save it and print it, pretty
easy.
TIPS: 4. If you group the map you can also resize it, (check out our enlarging and reducing video) and make a custom map.
5.
I usually recommend removing the text first but if you don't then just
hold down the shift key and select each state or county individually and
then fill with color.

Hi all, we have been working away on a new map coloring book for Canada. Our book will include the Canadian Provinces, maps of North America, the US, and Mexico. But most of its focus will be on Canada. We have a great set of Canadian maps to work from which include the major cities and towns, major highways, and waterways. Normally when we set up our coloring books we include a set of maps from detailed to just an outline. But I am not sure that is what people would like to see.
What I am looking for is what you would like to see in a coloring book like this. How many maps for each provinces. I set up a poll over on the right and would love you to check off what maps you thinks should be included. If there is something different you would like to see, please leave a comment below in the comment section. All feedback welcome. I know that a lot of little kids use our books to color so maybe what I really need is to make two books, one with simple outline for younger kids and one with lot more details for older. Please let me know.

We had a nice comment today from a customer that need to do a lot of customizing on one of our maps. They also need to duplicate the map for a book as well as the web. They bought one of our PowerPoint maps and then we sent along the matching Illustrator map for their designer. We got this comment back.
Bruce,
I am having fun working with the map I just ordered! You have done a very
good job designing it and making it easy to use.
Thank you for the attached file, I'll forward it to my illustrator.
We had a great question the other day from a customer named Gene on using our editable clip art maps in a book.
Question:
I am interested in using your maps in a book that I will be publishing. are there royalty fees to pay? do I need to indicate source of the maps on each page or at the end of the book?
Answer:
Hi Gene, thank you for visiting our site and for your question. You are free to use the maps in your book, there are no additional royalties that you have to pay and you do not have to mention the source. If you want to somewhere that is cool but we don't require it at all.
The only restriction we have is if you are making a map clipart book, for that we have a license but other than that no problem at all. Would love to know the subject matter and when you get it done let me know and I will put a link to it on our blog if you want.
Very cool, thank you for asking, please let me know if you have questions.
