Hi Laura You have run into a major issue with Mapinfo - you expect output to something other than MI itself :) Actually, MI does have some problems with exporting images, although usually you can get around them one way or another. I'd try exporting the image in some size other than the defaults given. I would also use some file format other than bmp - Powerpoint will read all sorts of things just fine. Try the WMF next and then the JPG and TIF formats. You might also have to experiment with your map zoom settings a bit. It is possible to get a usable image, but it is not always easy. Good luck - maps work great in Powerpoint if you can get them exported correctly.
