Adding Graphics to a Gif file

[Andrew Dyke]

Afternoon all,

I have a map, Gif file, and want to add some arrows to it to show
the direction on a particular trip and then put it back again on the web.
I have tried using the arrows in FP, fine, but when I add it to my site the
arrows come out in a different place on the map.
Can anybody tell me how to do it.

TIA

Andrew

I would recommend using a graphics application to do this-
even Paint would be good. FP is designed primarily as page
maker, not a graphics editor.
If you do alot of work with maps, I would recommend using
either MS Mappoint Europe or MS Autoroute (European version
of Streets & Trips). They both can generate webpages of
maps. The cost difference ($200+ US Dollars) is that
Mappoint can be operated with VB programs or through VBA.
