MapPoint Tips and Tricks
Share
Maps with Anyone Using E-Mail
In
Microsoft MapPoint® version 2002, maps can easily be sent to
e-mail recipients as images (if the recipient does not have
MapPoint), or MapPoint files (if the recipient does). This
is very handy for quickly sharing maps with colleagues, such
as a demographic map, or family and friends, such as a map
of a trip you plan to take.
To
send a map as an image, on the File menu, point to
Send To and click Mail Recipient (as Picture).
To
send a MapPoint file, on the File menu, point to
Send To, and then click Mail Recipient (as
Attachment).
Editor's Note:
You can also use the Select tool on the Navigation
toolbar to select an area of the map instead of sending the
whole map view. Remember that copyright rules apply to maps.
Add
a Map to Your Word Document Using MapPoint
Did you
know that by using smart tags you can insert a MapPoint map
into your Word 2002 document?
In a
Word 2002 document, when you type an address, a faint dotted
line, the smart tag indicator, appears under the address.
When you point your mouse at the line, a Smart Tag
Actions button appears. Click the Smart Tag Actions
button, and then select Insert MapPoint Map.
