Jens,
I have fully documented this point earlier this year. It is a known bug of MI
that has been fixed in version 5.5. You could have added that the "map" part is
not at the same scale, (94% about) as the original (if exported directly from a
mapper)
The solution we have adopted is to increase the size of the exported window to
regain the 100% scaling, and on an image processing program, to trim the excess
margins. (in our project, it is done in Word)
Ah, 5.5 is some much better!!!!
