JICREG mapping maps in PowerPoint are fully editable and customisable, to allow you the maximum flexibility in preparing slides and presentations exactly as you want them. However as the maps are much more complicated objects than you may be used to dealing with in PowerPoint, and contain a deep hierarchy of grouped objects, The tool that we are going to make extensive use of is the Selection Pane. This tool presents a side screen where we can choose one or more things from the map, by their name, rather than having to click very precisely on the map. When we are able to accurately choose several objects at once, we can apply transforms or operations to all of those objects at once making the process of editing the map MUCH quicker. This one of the major differences between PowerPoint 2003 and 2007 and it makes the viewing and selection of the various objects in your slide a lot easier.

As a default the selection pane is not visible and needs opening from the drawing menu.

From the drawing menu activate the Selection Pane. Drawing → Arrange → Selection Pane

You will then have a side menu open detailing all the objects in your slide.
