How about using the Layout and then inserting your main map on the layout page 
and including two smaller maps (Alaska and Hawaii) as inserts on the layout?

I'm creating a map of annual child care costs by state for the entire United 
States and need to include Hawaii and Alaska. When I see similar maps those 
states are often included near the tip of California. What I'm masking is 
Canada and Mexico. Perhaps there is an easier way of creating this. 

 

I've been using the Quick Start, choosing "Map your own data", choosing my 
spreadsheet, and mapping by state. I then choose "Show State boundaries with 
your data attached" along with a color theme and the map that's created 
includes Canada and Mexico, which I don't want when it comes time to insert 
into my document. I can also get Alaska mapped this way but it comes with 
Canada in between.

 

Unfortunately, this is one of the problems of being a one-person non-profit 
with no funding for additional training. It means figuring it out by 
trial-and-error!

 

Thanks for your help,

-D

Hi:

 

It seems from your description that you may not have to use the Mask tool at 
all.

 

You can simply zoom to the area you want to save as an image and choose 
File-Save As.

 

Otherwise, could you describe what you are trying to "hide" via the mask?
