In order to take full advantage of enhanced rendering, MapInfo Pro provides EMF+ and EMF+Dual image export formats. These are enhanced metafile vector image formats that support Windows GDI+ (Graphics Device Interface). Use these to save translucent maps instead of exporting to the older metafile formats, such as EMF and WMF. Older formats do not support translucency very well, which display images using translucency with a dithered, or speckled, appearance.

Choose EMF+ if you expect to bring your maps into an application that supports EMF+, such as Microsoft Office. Choose EMF+Dual (a combination of EMF and EMF+) if your maps may be used in applications that may or may not support EMF+, such as Microsoft's Office 2007.

Note: EMF+Dual format will produce a larger file than EMF+. But it provides better compatibility with older application that do not support EMF+.

To save to an EMF file:

  1. On the HOME tab, in the File group, click Save.
  2. In the Save Window to File dialog box, from the Save as type list, select either EMF + Metafile (*.emf) or EMF + Dual Metafile (*.emf).
