1. Click Find () on the Atlas tab. The Find Name on the Atlas dialog box appears.
2. Proceed as follows in the Find Name on Atlas dialog box:
1. Select the location you want to find in the list of sites (left side of the dialog box).
• You can limit the items available in this list via options on the right side of this dialog box. See the topic Find Name on the Atlas Dialog Box for details.
• To select contiguous items, click on a name, hold Shift, and click on another name. The first and last items selected are highlighted, and everything in between.
• To select non-contiguous items, click on a name, hold + and select one or more names. Every selected item is highlighted.
2. Click OK. The Atlas scrolls and zooms to center on the name.
• The names added to the Atlas appear in the default font and styles for "extra" site and region names.
• If the name was already displayed in an Atlas layer, it is now displayed with the "extra" site and region names styles.
• To change the display of these "highlighted" extra site and region names, on the Display menu choose Set Atlas Display.
3. Repeat the above steps to find additional names on the Atlas.
4. You can also double-click a name in the list to find the location on the Atlas.

Note Many names are followed by additional information which is usually omitted from the map display for clarity.

1. Amplifying to the map from a selected name in a Text or Tool also adds the name to the extra names.
2. If you only want to add to the extra names a name that you see on the Atlas, press Shift and click on the name. The correct extra site or region style is applied to the name.

Example of an Atlas with Several Places Highlighted Using the Find Name on the Atlas Dialog Box

The "highlighted" names are displayed using the "extra site names" (white) and "extra region names" (yellow) styles

You can also manually highlight names on the Atlas. To do so:

Shift+Click on any name on the Atlas to highlight it. The correct extra site or region style is applied to the name.

Once locations have been added or found, they can be deleted individually, or as a whole.

• To delete an individual name, select the name and press Delete.

You can create a custom site layer from all the highlighted sites (added manually, or using the Find Name on Atlas dialog box). The new layer includes all names highlighted with the extra site or region names style.

To create a custom layer:

2. On the Sites pop-up menu, choose Convert To Custom Layer. The Define Custom Site Layers dialog box opens.
