All you really need is to get a graphics card with at least 32MB of RAM and
save your layout or map window to 22" x 17" or better. Check your dpi in
the display settings to check that you are at (72, 96, 120) dpi. Multiply
the size of the image you save from the map or layout window by the dpi from
the screen settings. This gives you the resultant image size in pixels
(w/h) from the screen dump. I would recommend saving as a BMP (Windows
Bitmap) then converting to GIF if the number of colours in the image is less
than or equal to 256. If above 65k colours then save as JPG. The image
editing past MapInfo can be done in Paint Shop Pro, PhotoShop or Corel
Photo-Paint. I use this method all the time to get images into PowerPoint.
