Manually Assembling a Multi-page Map
After you have printed the sheets for your multi-page map, you are ready to
assemble the map.
Before you begin, be sure you have a clear work surface large enough to
accommodate the final map size.
You will need the following tools to assemble your map:
• Pencil
• Razor knife
• Straight-edge ruler (longer than the edge of the longest sheet)
• Permanent tape ("invisible" or "magic" type)
• Removable tape
To Manually Assemble a Multi-page Map
Use the following steps to manually assemble a multi-page map.
1. For each sheet that needs to be trimmed, mark the edges of the sheet to
indicate the areas to trim.
2. Use the straight edge ruler and razor knife to trim each sheet to the thin
black line bordering the map.
Note For adjacent sheets, trim only one page. This makes piecing the sheets
together easier.
The following diagrams of a 2 x 2 and 3 x 3 multi-page map provide
additional information on where to trim the sheets. The arrows indicate the
edges to be trimmed.
