Dear Hannes

Many thanks for your help

I am trying to make a digital archive of all the maps I have created in 
the last twenty years

QGIS is helpful because it allows interactive maps to be published on 
the web so they are freely accessible (ArcMap and Global Mapper does 
not)

I will have a look at the link you sent

Best

John
