Later versions of ArcGIS may contain different functionality, as well as different names and locations for menus, commands and geoprocessing tools.Many of these issues have been resolved in ArcGIS 9.x; however, testing efforts show that using Insert Object is a better method than simply copying and pasting from a Windows application into ArcMap.Click outside the page to unselect it, and double-click the new text box just added to the map.
Paste the copied text from the Word document into this box and apply any formatting needed. Take a screenshot by pressing the Print Screen button on the keyboard. It is best to crop the screenshot down to just the graphic and text elements you want to insert into the map. To do this, click on the Select tool (dotted line box) and draw a box around the elements to be inserted into the map. Select Edit Copy. Select File New. Click No when the dialog box Save changes to untitled appears. To ensure that the newly cropped image is as small as it can be, resize the page footprint in Paint. To do this, left-click on the bottom right corner of the white page in Paint and drag it close to the top left corner. Select Edit Paste. Select File Save As and select 24-bit Bitmap (BMP) as the type. In ArcMap and while in layout view, select Insert Picture and browse to the BMP just created. Place it as desired on the map layout and resize the image as necessary. On the Picture tab, check Save Picture as Part of Document.
