Thanks!

    It's not generally done, but easy enough.

    Add a CLOUD sheet above all but the TEXT sheets, and add a largish blur effect to it. Then either add circles of pale colours (not all white), and/or use the freehand drawing tool with a line width set above zero to scrawl on that sheet in similar off-white colours.

    Here is the smoke from a chimney stack done using scribbles and a blur.

    Sue's advice is excellent for adding your own clouds.

    If you might be interested in using symbols instead - or as well as - you may like to see the Alyssa Faden style pack, which was part of the Cartographer's Annual in 2014, as that comes with a number of cloud symbols designed specifically for use on overland maps.
