Hi: The issues you are encountering may be because the EMF export is a single vector layer. Reducing the number of layers in the original map before saving should help.
Also, note that some programs have limits to the number of edges an area can have which may be exceeded in some of the detailed Maptitude map layers.

I saved it to an EMF file and then in PowerPoint I imported it using Insert -> Picture.
