Dear everybody

If you decide to play with the graphs in a PC, here is how I do:

1. Copy a graph and paste into a PowerPoint file
2. Open the same PowerPoint file in the PC
3. Copy the graph and paste into the Paint (a stupid program that comes with
the Windows, inside "accessories")
4. Here you can erase the unnecessary information, and make all sorts of
adjustments
5. (important) Save as a 16 colors or monochrome format to save space
6. Now you can import into Word, PowerPoint, or any other kind of programs.
I usually add the labels using PowerPoint.

There is an example attached.
