This saves them as vector images and not raster images. Vector images allow much more detail and usually a smaller file size. In MapInfo, under the File menu, select "Save Window As". Click on "Save", and under the "Save as type", select "Windows metafile (*.wmf)" under the drop down menu. Name your file and save it. Good luck.

I want to bring maps into word as pictures. I used to do this with Acrobat Distiller, but don't have it on my machine, and even when I used a computer with it on it, it didn't always work. So now all I can do is save layouts as bitmaps/jpegs. However a lot of the detail of a 1:10 000 map is lost when one does this. Anyone any ideas? cheers, Suzanne Dunne Research Assistant is GIS University of Gloucestershire Cheltenham. --------------------------------------------------------------------- List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message number: 4257
