How to Embed Map into a PowerPoint Slide

Sometimes you may need to insert an interactive map or a vector map into a PowerPoint slide,
there are two ways to achieve it.

a) Take a screen capture (print screen) for your map & insert as static image;
b) Add a Shockwave Flash ActiveX control to load an interactive Flash map created using iMap Online.

* It requires Shockwave Flash to be installed & internet connection for option (b).

 

a) Steps for adding a Map as Static Image to a PowerPoint Slide



Windows Users
You can simply use the 'Print Screen' button to do the screen capture

For Windows Vista / Windows 7 users, you can also use Snipping Tool (A build-in software) to cut image easily.

For further information about snipping tool in windows, please visit:

Mac Users
"Command+Shift+4" and click to pull the mouse to select the area you want to capture. The image will then be captured directly in the desktop.
- OR -
"Command+Shift+3" can capture the whole screen.

(You may need paste it in an image editor & save as a file first.)
Then you can insert image to your slide.

Note: If you want to capture the image without the zoom button, you can Switch it off before screen capture. Please find the option in the "Map Properties" > "General" > "Allow Zoom" on the right side.

    http://www.imapbuilder.net/login/

  2. Select Map Type "Interactive Flash Map" from Start Wizard.

  4. Open PowerPoint and add a Shockwave Flash Object.

    There are different PowerPoint versions, and you may refer to the steps on this Microsoft Knowledge Base to add the Shockwave Flash Object to your presentation.

    Note:
    Adding the object is not supported for PowerPoint Viewer and any versions of PowerPoint for Mac. For PowerPoint 2010 (64-bit), you have to install 64-bit version of Flash Player from Adobe.

  5. Go to properties and in the movie field add:

    http://cdn.api.imapbuilder.net/1.0/imapbuilder/loader.swf?datasource=http://api.imapbuilder.net/1.0/imapbuilder/map-xml.php?map=21305%26host=1%26s=e069b0b5583a6b57e8e65626483d5411
    ( * Since SEP 2012, new maps would include a protection code by default,
    while old projects are optional to enable it at the publish screen. )

    Replace 21305 with your map value & also insert the long proection code of your project.
    You can download the PowerPoint sample below to inspect:
