You can save the current Map window and automatically register it by creating a .TAB file.

To save the current map as a .TAB file:

  1. On the HOME tab, in the Output group, click Save, to open the Save Window to File dialog box.
  2. Select the path of the file and type the file name in the field provided. Click Saveto open the Save Window As dialog box.
  3. Select the Create a Geographically Referenced Tab File check box and click Save.

    MapInfo Pro automatically creates registration points based on the current map view and saves it as a .TAB file. The file you created is the first file in the Recent Files list on the HOME tab, in the File group, when you click Open.

Note: If MapInfo Pro cannot create registration points for the window image, an error message displays. This might happen if you pan outside the bounds of the map.

To specify advanced export options from the Save Window As dialog box, click the Advanced button to open the Advanced Exporting Options dialog box.
