Take a look at Help. Under Lines and Shapes there is a lot of information about drawing and editing lines.

Perhaps you should redraw the main outline as individual lines rather than a single line with bends.

The background grid might be better placed on a Master Page, and grouped - or use an empty table or a quick Grid.

That's very useful. Thanks Vicki.

Ive just downloaded your file. If you look in the right hand studio panel you should see pages layers and styles tabs.
If you select the layer tab then click on its plus sign it will expose all the layers which can be edited. Also some of your lines have a different mode of line shape Hope that is helpful. Vicki

This may hep as well.

Thanks Geoff.
One problem is that there is no jigsaw logo visible. I have attached the file in case you can offer a solution.

Better luck this time?????

As Alfred has said, there is no attachment. Please try again.

Meanwhile, what does the hintline (across the bottom of the screen) say, when your map is selected?

That rather depends on how you have drawn it - as a single item (closed curve or just a single line) or separate items grouped together.

If the latter, just ungroup them, either by clicking the jigsaw button at bottom right of the selection, or from the Arrange menu. Alternatively, you can select individual items within the group from the Layers tab.

If it's a closed curve (the hintline will tell you) there are several tools for manipulating it on the context toolbar (which appears when the object is selected).

If this doesn't help, perhaps you could attach your map here.

I have drawn a map of my property using PP. I want to make some alterations. The whole map is selected. How do I deselect it so that I can alter individual lines?
