powerpoint map of 50 states

[dee3281]

I would like to know if there is a blank map of the 50 states that I can
download into powerpoint. I would like to then color the map according to my
different sales regions. Does anyone know of a download?

Dee3281,
There is one here: if you ungroup two times you will be able to color the
different states.

Thank you so much. But how do I open it as a .wmf file in powerpoint?

dee3281,
After downloading it, extract it to a folder of your choice, then in PPT go
to Insert - picture - from file - select the map and click insert.
Once it is there, go to Draw on the drawing toolbar, choose ungroup, say
yes, ungroup a second time.

Unzip the file using WinZip (www.winzip.com), or use Windows XP Built-in Zip
support, then insert it through PowerPoint (Click Insert > Picture > From
File. Look for the wmf, click Insert).
