24. I'm no "expert" at that sort of thing, but I tried this (and it "worked"):

Ok. Here it goes.

1. On Windows (dunno for any other OS), find out where the "PrtScr" key is located on your keyboard.
2. Make sure the OP's map is visible on the screen, and wait until the 9/2007 graph is displayed.
3. Press the PrtScr (doing this captures the screen and sends a copy to the clipboard).
4. Open "Paint" (or any other "image creation" program).
5. Select the Edit menu, then click on the Paste item (Ctrl+V will do that faster).
6. The map graph should appear (along with everything that was captured with it).

Now, the task is to select the image you want using the Select button to the left.

7. Once you're in selection mode, click on the top-left point of the image.
8. Drag the mouse in the direction of the bottom-right corner of the image.
9. Once the selection rectangle is sized to your liking, release the mouse button.
10. Select the Edit menu, and click on either the Copy item, or the Cut item (Ctrl+C or Ctrl+X).

Now, the image of the map that you want is in the Clipboard.

11. Open the File menu, and click on New.
12. Paint (or other single document's programs) will display a message asking if you want to save blah-blah-blah.
13. Click the No button, repeat #5. up here, and save the map on your HD.
14. Close Paint.
15. Right-click on the desktop, and select Properties (Personalize on Vista).

From there, click on the Desktop (or Background) tab, and manage to load the image you just captured and saved.


Hoping this can help.

25. (As a "follow-up" to my previous reply:)

Here's what I got from doing it that way (far from perfect, but "perfect enough for me") :)

[Flabbergasted]

32. Thanks Very Much for your Time.

I havn't had time to try yet.

29. Map matches my mood. With such high disapproval of Bush,

where's the change in policy?

30. Still Giuliani polls competitively when ranked against top candidate Miss Thing.

It's still a contest. Not a piece of cake. Or you can totally ignore the polls completely.
