This question and answer pertains to the US County Map available for download at DigitalMapz.com.

Yes!  The USA County map in PowerPoint format contains county objects in vector format.  Vector images are line images and can be scaled up or down without losing line quality.

To resize the USA county map, select the map then click on the corner points to resize.  To maintain proportions, hold down the shift key while dragging the corners in or out.

You can also select a portion of the USA county map. To do this:

1. Select the states or objects you want to keep.

2. Copy them into a blank slide.

3. Group them by selecting all (Ctrl+A), then right click, choose Group >Group.

4. Now you will be able to select the group as a single object and re-size using the  corner handles on the selection  HINT: Hold down the “shift” key to maintain the aspect ration or proportions!

This is a great way to break down the individual territories or pick and choose counties across multiple states.
