Copy a Google map to Word Document
It looks as if the method I have been using no longer works. I had been able
to click Print, cancel printing, then right-click and use Save Picture As, but the right-click menu seems to have been disabled. You can save the whole page (File | Save As | Web page, complete) and then extract the image. Or you can take a rough-and-ready screen shot using PrintScreen (which copies the image to the Clipboard, whence you can paste it into Word) and then crop it. With dedicated screen capture software such as SnagIt (www.techsmith.com) you can capture just the map (by selecting a region) or "print" to the SnagIt printer and then crop and save in a graphics format. -- Suzanne S.

Copy a Google map to Word Document
Google Maps will let you copy a link, but you cannot do a 'simple' copy and
paste. You need a good simple graphics editor such as the free to download IrfanView. Open Google Maps and select the location and adjust it to your preference. Note that you can toggle FullScreenView (F12) in Explorer to get more screen space to get a bigger map area. Once it is right, use ALt+PrtScn (this copies the screen tot he Windows Clipboard. Toggle off FullScreenView (F12) and open IrfanView. Use Edit, Paste. You now have the Google Map displayed. You can crop it to edit it again now if you want. Then click on save and save it as a jpeg. You can now use Insert, Picture to get the saved map into Word or an Outlook email. -- Terry Farrell - MS Word MVP "slick1" wrote in message ...

Copy a Google map to Word Document
Many Web sites (including Google Maps IIRC) that don't permit copying do
have a Print option. Sometimes this gives you a printable page (and sometimes you can even copy from that), which provides a better screen shot, but an even better solution in this case, if you are using a screen capture application such as SnagIt, is to print directly to the SnagIt printer, which captures the screen at whatever resolution you specify. -- Suzanne S.

Copy a Google map to Word Document
Or if you are using Vista, the Snipping tool works nicely. (I prefer SnagIt
tho.) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...

It's a pleasant "upgrade" from a screen shot.
