VII. e. Setting map properties
             Estimated time:
             3 minutes
If the map shown in the layout needs a bit of “tweaking” you can take care of that at this time
In this exercise, you will:
  • Add a frame around the map image
  • Set the height and width of the map to an appropriate value
  • Assign a fixed value to the scale of the map shown
