Hi Andrea

Unfortunately, Mapinfo's layout is not really built for importing things
such as an Excel document. Something you might consider is working in the
other direction - and building your "Layout" in Word, PowerPoint or Excel.
You can drag a Mapper window from Mapinfo and paste it into any OLE
compliant application (Anything by Microsoft and a lot of others, too). You
can also drop in browser and grapher windows and anything out of Excel.
Legends can be a problem - you have to either put them in the mapper window
using the Legends tool or find another way to fake a legend.

Good Luck!

James

Hi!

I have a MS Excel Table (a worksheet area) and I want to insert it into my
Mapinfo layout (comments to the map).
Which is the best way to do this?
I Tryied:
- copying the area to the clipboard from MS Excel and then pasting it into
the layout
- capturing the table into a bitmap and then opening it as a raster table in
MI

In both cases the results where really poor.

Thanks very much in advance
Andrea
