[Qgis-user] North Arrow in Print Composer

[Nathanael Proctor]

I am a very new user to QGIS and have a simple question. Where is the
option to include a north arrow in the print composer?
I am using v. 1.7.4
I have options for scale bar, legend, label etc. but not for north arrow.

Also, anyone have a recommendation for a projection that would give me a
scale bar in miles for a United States vector that includes Hawaii and
Alaska?

Cheers
Nathanael
