Editing Places and Folders

Once you have become familiar with the basic steps involved in creating and organizing places and folders, you can use this section to learn how you can further modify the appearance of places and folders that you have saved. You can edit the style settings, position, and view for an individual placemark or a folder that contains place data.

To do this, right-click the icon or folder in the 'Places' panel and select Properties from the pop-up menu. The 'Edit' dialog box for that item appears. Enable the relevant 'Style', 'Location', and 'View' properties for the folder or placemark.

To learn about these features and how they apply to folders and individual items, see the following topics:

• Changing Labels
