I don't think this feature is available in the online version - are you using Pro? If not, I recommend it - the Map Key feature alone is worth laying down the scratch.

Rob's outline provides good detail and methodology, whereas this is perhaps more quick-and-dirty. A blend would be cool - maybe the basic approach above with Rob's material to fill in some detail.
