You can also accomplish this in PowerPoint.<br />
Just insert US map. Right click-group-ungroup. You may have to do this twice because it just separates the map from the shadow the first time you ungroup. Once it is properly ungrouped, click off (outside of pic) so that you don't move anything. Next, click on state you wish to manipulate. Color as desired.

You may be able to trace the lines and recreate the spaces to fill. Haven't tried it on maps, but have done it on photos before. Although it may be easier to find the map somewhere else?<br />

The camera has taken a picture of the map and the pixels are flattened or merged. I don't know enough to explain technically but there is no fix. It's like all the pixels are glued together, not open waiting to be filled with color. How's that for a high tech explanation!! Maybe someone who actually knows what happens will chime in and give you a more high fallutin' reason. haha. N.

Nancy,<br />
When I copy a map from the internet and open it in paint, I am able to fill it in with the paint bucket. When I take a picture with the document camera (ELMO) and save the image the same way, I cannot fill it in with color. Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />

Just use the little paint bucket to fill. Here is a better size---cropped. Have you ever seen the math problem called the <a href="http://www.c3.lanl.gov/mega-math/gloss/math/4ct.html">Four Color Theorem</a>? It contends that any flat map can be colored with 4 colors and no two areas next to each other will be the same color.<br />

Nice, actually, the teachers at the elementary campus will have their students fill in the colors, but that should be easy enough to teach them.<br />
