Thanks

The problem is, of course, that not only is economics bankrupt, but it has always been nothing more than politics in disguise... economics is a form of brain damage.

Open office is great. It's just like Microsoft Office, except that it doesn't suck, and it's free to boot.

I really hate to be a pain but it will be used to add content to the site later...
Is is possible to save a graph made in open office (I learned how to do that today) in a way that it can be downloaded in to photobucket or some similar service?
I'm trying to find a way to take data, put it in graph form (people are more likely to believe or grasp graphs I've noticed
and then put it into a post, and not just be dependent upon graphs others have posted.
Thanks for any support that can be given.

edit: If it is too onerous to tell me how it is done just let me know it can be done so I don't give up

Go into paperport calc and export it as a PDF.

test one complete... next to see if I can do it in a way that it is legible...
I made a copy and pasted it into GIMP... not the easiest way to get a job done but I think (with some practice) I can make it work.
Thanks

I take a screenshot, paste the result into IrfanView, save as .jpg, upload to ImageShack. Seems to work.
Bit of a learning curve getting graphs to show what you want though.
