I have found it much, much easier to forget about dealing
with Microsoft and its problems and use a screen capture utility. Since I
have given up on exporting into formats and fooling around in word my life is so
much easier and I get a lot of maps into reports, slide shows etc. I think
Caliper is doing its best with regard to exporting maps in various formats, but
I trouble in mush applications reading them in. Same for other GISs as well.
See http://www.wisdom-soft.com/products/screenhunter.htm
The free version will work for most applications. The "pro" version is a "nice
to have." You can collect your image in a variety of formats. .jpg looks
fine in most reports. Bit maps are larger but definitely make a nice
image.
One thing you can do increase the quality of your
image before you do the screen captures is to increase the resolution
of your monitor. If you can use 256 colors, this helps as well. But since most
maps in reports are usually quite small, ordinary screen resolution will
do.

I am trying to cut and then paste a map over to a "Word" document.
Unfortuanley, the map is bigger than the paper. I have tried both portrait
and landscape mode, in both cases, the maps are still bigger than the margin
of the paper. I tried changing the paper margins under the "preference"
manual ,but it does not seem to change anything. Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.
