August 2014 Annual Question: part of a continent
Thanks to PF for this edition - it's exactly what I need.
Is it possible to erase everything but a small part of a continent? In particular, I am looking at working on a map of Greece, like the screen captured attachment. When I follow the PDF instructions for the August edition, I manage to erase everything but Africa, Europe and Asia (makes sense as this is a vector map, I think), including all the Greek islands (bad).
So, do I just have to zoom in and work on the part I want of this map, or is it possible to easily create a map that is only a small part of a continent?

You will beed to EXPLODE them, delete everything outside the area you need and then use "Line To Path" to make the coastlines back into polygons.
