Setting Your Clipboard to Copy Maps in to Word, Excel, or PowerPoint

or PowerPoint, you must first customize the Clipboard behavior so that only specific types of metafiles
copy to the Clipboard.
1. On the Options menu, point to Preferences 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.
EMF+Dual format will produce a larger file than EMF+. But it provides better compatibility
with older application that do not support EMF+. Note:
