I need to find an editable map of the United States that
will allow me to color coordinate different regions of the
US for an Air Force slide presentation. Any ideas where I
can get such a map?
 
excel offers a mapping tool that you can put in the
locations you want and customize the map. It's a toolbar
button located on the commands tab of the customize
toolbars dialog box. Look under the tools category, it's
called custom in the 2002 version and map in the others.
good luck.
 
TAJ,

I went to this site to see if any of the maps were compatible with our
colouring-by-numbers software, and have ended up with Surferbar adult stuff
crawling all over my browser that I can't get rid of. Be warned!

Diane,

this sounds interesting. But I can't find it in the German version of Excel
2002/xp. Are you sure it should be built in, no Add-in? AFAIK Microsoft
stopped delivering the MS Map tool with Excel 2000 ...

Pam,

you might want to try Microsoft MapPoint, which has a lot of functions. But
you can only export bitmap graphics to other programs such as PowerPoint. If
you need scalable vector graphics, try to find someone using Adobe
Illustrator. They have predefined maps AFAIK, which are easily editable
within Illustrator. And then do a cut and paste into PowerPoint. It worked
very well for me for a map of Germany.

Kind regards,
Ute
 
Can't get rid of Surferbar with AdAware or Spybot so had to use lots of
time-consuming low level stuff. But thanks everyone for the advice - some of
it will, sadly, be useful for the future!

I'll second what TAJ said -- I'd be very surprised if
http://dgl.microsoft.com was the cause of anything like what you're
seeing, Martin.

I like AdAware for getting rid of that kind of stuff.

Martin,

I'd be really surprised if this had anything to do with the .dgl site.
Otherwise it would make front page news

Perhaps you have some spyware on your PC?

SpyBot Search and Destroy is good for getting rid of the stuff.

Cheers

Unfortunately, you're absolutely correct there, Martin!
