Andrew, Open your sales areas and the polygon (region) showing GB coastline. Make sales areas editable Select the sales area to be clipped go to 'Objects' on the menu bar and select 'Set Target' (hatch pattern should change) Select the outline of GB, then select 'Objects' from the menu bar and 'Erase Outside' If the data held within the sales areas is population or sales figures etc. then change the method to value, this will keep the figures un-touched. Press OK and repeat for the other areas. Ps work on a copy for the first time (I learnt the hard way!)

To those of you to whom this is simple stuff... help!
