To copy a map to the Clipboard and then past it in to a Microsoft Office document, such as Word, Excel or PowerPoint, you must first customize the Clipboard behavior so that only specific types of metafiles copy to the Clipboard.

  1. On the PRO tab, click Options, and click System Settings to open the System Settings Preferences dialog box.
  2. In the Copy to Clipboard group, check the Copy Enhanced Metafile (EMF) to Clipboard check box.
  3. Choose one of the following:
    • Copy EMF to Clipboard - Choose this if you expect to bring your maps into an application that supports only EMF, such as Microsoft's Office 2003.
    • Copy EMF+ to Clipboard - Choose this if you expect to bring your maps into an application that supports EMF+, such as Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010.
    • Copy EMF+ Dual to Clipboard - Choose this (a combination of EMF and EMF+) to use your maps in applications that may or may not support EMF+, such as when you have Microsoft's Office 2003 and Office 2007 on the same machine.
      Note: EMF+Dual format will produce a larger file than EMF+. But it provides better compatibility with older application that do not support EMF+.
  4. Click OK to close the dialog and save your settings.
