Method 3: Copy and Paste (if supported by the email client)
1. Start Terrain Navigator Pro and position the map on the screen as you would like it to appear in the email.
2. Open the 'File' menu and choose 'Export, Copy to Clipboard'. This places the map shown on the screen in the Windows 'Clipboard' which can be accessed by other applications.
3. Start your email program and compose your email. Choose Paste (usually from the Edit menu) to insert the image into the email. (Note that not all email applications and services allow pasting of images directly into an email.)
Method 4: Copy and Paste (using another application to save the attachment)
1. Start Terrain Navigator Pro and position the map on the screen as you would like it to appear in the email.
2. Open the 'File' menu and choose 'Export, Copy to Clipboard'. This places the map shown on the screen in the Windows 'Clipboard' which can be accessed by other applications.
3. Start the Windows 'Paint' Accessory. (This is in All Programs, Accessories)
4. Open the 'Edit' menu in Paint and choose 'Paste'. This will take the map off of the Windows Clipboard and put it into a Paint document.
5. Open the 'File' menu in Paint and choose Save As. Save the image as a .JPG file in a location that you will remember (such as 'My Documents'.) Close Microsoft Paint.
6. Start your email program and compose your email. Use the 'Attachment' feature of your email program to attach the .JPG file that was saved in step 5. Send the email with this file attached.
Note that you do not have to use Microsoft Paint as the vessel for including the map in a file. You can also Paste a map into any image editor (such as Adobe Photoshop) or word processor (such as Microsoft Word.) Some email programs will even allow you to Paste the map straight into the email.
