NooB question.. How to crop finished image to canvas size???

[MonkeyGrinder]

Hello everybody,
obviously, I've got a problem, as you can see from the question mark on the left side of the subject of this thread..
I always worked in Photoshop to realize my artworks, and i've been an over-user of the crop function, which I can't find anywhere in Illustrator!
More precisely, I've got portions of bitmaps going out of the canvas area. I'd like to draw a rectangle around the area I want to crop and have every surrounding thing deleted..
There is some way to achieve this result in Illustrator CS?
Thanks to anyone who will help!

Monkey,


How about a clipping mask?

Try this link as well. You can also just delete the images you don't want, if the actual image you want to crop is a complete image, just get rid of the rest.
