How to Divide or Ungroup Maps In PowerPoint
Often when you import a WMF map or open one of our PowerPoint maps, you notice that you can’t immediately select the individual state, county or division objects. This is typically because the map is grouped.
In order to edit the map, you must first “ungroup” the drawing. To do this, follow these simple steps:
- Select the image containing the objects you want to edit.
- Right-click on the image. This will bring up a menu.
- From the menu, select Group (or Grouping in earlier versions of PowerPoint)
- Then, choose ungroup.
- Select anywhere outside the map to deselect the objects. Then you can free select any of the individual objects on the map and edit using the editing tools provided by Microsoft PowerPoint.
To see this demonstrated, view the following video:
