no way of doing this with the graphic tool open, if I select using the

function in "tools".
I think there is a slight misunderstanding on what export selection
does in the graphics tool: You don't export a "passage" but a part of
the page. You select the area you want to export by double-clicking
and dragging a selection frame (at least on Mac), and then choosing
export selection. The frame should be showing on the page, otherwise
you have not selected anything yet.

In my best Dennis Day voice: "Oh, DOUBLE CLICK!" I'm surprised I
hadn't tried that, just out of desperation. Although, in my defense, I
will say that I used the export TIF function, either page or selection,
once a year at most.
With the double click, it works fine - in Win2009.
BUT, it is screwed up, exactly as Richard described, in Win2010. Only
the left half, (less, actually) of the selection is saved. 100%, 200%
view, same result. Back to my, sigh, kludge - save the whole page (at a
larger res.), and crop it with a graphics program. Or, if one needs a
very small selection, select 3 times the width on the screen!
My installation of WinFin2010 doesn't have Graphics - export
selection screwed up. I just tested it, exporting it at
300dpi as a TIFF and it exported completely as I had
selected it.
No problems whatsoever.
I just double-clicked-and-dragged to select a section of the
page and then selected "export selection" and clicked okay,
gave it a name and then opened it in IrfanView and it's all
there just as it should be.
