How to Save Your Work as a gif File

When you create a graph using one of the provided programs, you may save it as a gif file by first clicking on the window that contains the graph to select it. Press and hold down the alt key and then press the print screen key. This will copy the window to the clipboard. Next, paste the image into any image editor which will allow you to save the image in gif format. To determine if an image editor has the capability of saving files in gif format, select "Save As" from its "File" menu, then choose "Save As Type" and look to see if gif format is one of the options. Programs such as Paint in Microsoft Windows can't save images as gif files, even though you type in a name for your file that includes the .gif extension. If you need a simple image editor with this capability, you may consider using ImagoWeb1.0. This is a free, 700 kilobyte program and can be obtained from www.download.com.
