Spencer,
To illustrate what the problem with producing scaled maps in MI is, try
producing a map of a specific geographic feature on an A4 sheet, at the
maximum standard scale that will fit on the page, with a title block, a
north arrow and a decent-looking scale in under 5 minutes. I can do it using
one of the many available bolt-ons, but I'm fairly certain that it's not
possible with MI alone.
Any decent mapping program should have this as one of it's most basic
capabilities.
Cheers,
Tim

Maybe I'm missing something here....
In a Layout window, if you "double-click" on a frame which contains a Map
window, the dialog box that appears contains a place to type in the
exact scale you want. Its accuracy depends upon having selected the
correct paper size, but A4 was a paper-size choice in my "Page Setup".
Hope this helps
Spencer
