How Print Multiple Maps as a Single Package

While working in ProductName, you may have several maps that you want to print as a package. To ensure you create a uniform package, you will need to determine a standard page size to use for printing each map you want in that package. You can use the auto-size feature of the Print Map dialog box to quickly determine the standard paper size you will need for your printed package. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the Map window that you have your largest map that you want to print loaded into. The paper size needed for the largest map will be the standard paper six you will use for each map you want to add to the printed package.
  2. From that Map window's Other Map Tools toolbar, click to open the Print Map dialog box. CollapsedView image
