Anne,
Make your layout window active in MapInfo. Then go to the File menu, Save
Window As command. A dialogue appears with four buttons - Save, Cancel,
Advanced and Help.
If you click on Save then you have the option to save an image of the layout
window in various file formats (bmp, jpg, tiff etc). You can then import
the image into Power Point - go the the Power Point Insert menu, Picture,
>From File command and point it at the file you just saved from MapInfo.
In the MapInfo dialogue you can elect to save the image the same size as the
layout window, or use a custom size. Play around with the custom sizes to
get the resolution that you want - going larger will increase the quality
(and the file size).
If you want to insert a MapInfo map window into PowerPoint (or many other
apps) then it is even easier. Just use the grabber tool (on the main
toolbar - looks like a hand holding a handle). Use the tool to click and
drag your map window into Power Point. Does not work for layouts though - I
don't know why but it would be neat if it did.
Hope that helps.
Richard
