Hi Yas,
While you have your map window up, click on the tool button (on you Main
tool bar) that looks like a hand pulling on a yellow rope. If you make
your whole MI screen minimized so that you can be looking at both your MI
and Powerpoint software at the same time on your screen... you can take
and "drag" your map window right on to your open powerpoint slide. This
should work if you have the latest versions of both (and even some earlier
versions). Both softwares have OLE capabilities (I think this stands for
object link embedding?). I believe you can also drag the MI map windows
into other software that have ole functions as well.
Hope this is clear and works for you!

Hi Laura,
Wow, one I might be able to answer!!! :-)
You have two options:
1. Go to file, save window as... just say ok to the window specs that
pop
up next, and then save as a .bmp, .jpeg, etc. Then in powerpoint open a
blank document and go to insert, picture, from file.... and find your
saved
.bmp(or whatever graphic you save it as). It should open the layout
picture.
2. You can take the drag hand in MI and drag the map window into your
open
powerpoint slide. Down fall.... you can only drag the map window not the
layout, so you would have to create the legend and title in powerpoint.
I
think in new version 5.0 though you can now imbed your legend into the
map
window and create everything in the map window if you like th edrag
version
better.
Hope this helps!

Hello!
Is it possible to export a MI layout to Powerpoint for presentations? I
have a request by our Human Resources department to provide one of my
maps for their powerpoint presentations. This question is coming up
more frequently now that my maps are deemed "useful" to the
organization! Also, is it possible to e-mail a map to a person who does
not have MI so that they may view it and print it? As always thanks
for any assistance that you can provide.
