Good suggestion, thanks. If I set this to 1200, the max, shut down Mapinfo, insert and link the map into Corel, the jaggedness is reduced to what I was experiencing with my last setup. Too bad I can't increase it more so that I can get the map to have as many nodes as it does in Mapinfo. I can achieve this by exporting the map as a dxf and inserting that, but then it's not OLE'ed to the Mapinfo map directly.

You'll find this setting under Preferences > System Settings where you'll find the item "Windows Export and Clipboard resolution" Maybe changing this values will improve the resolution in Corel.

When I insert a linked Mapinfo v7.8 map in Coreldraw v11, under WinXP, the objects look and print very jagged. If I open the link and zoom in the quality improves, but this is not helpful if I need to see a larger area. It's like the map is being generalized very poorly. I thought perhaps there was some node tolerance that I could adjust in Corel but no luck. I had the same problem when I used Corel v10, Mapinfo 7.0, and Win2000 prof NT, but now the jaggedness is far worse. The map is of poor quality even when I insert it in Powerpoint which leads me to believe it's a Mapinfo setting. I thought this might be related to the bounds of the map I'm importing, so I optimized them in hopes to maximize grid granularity, using the coordsys bounds tool that came with Mapinfo, and re-inserted. No effect, unfortunately. Any ideas?
