I trying to set up our an another user with Explorer so she can create some simple maps using our company's standard base layer.  I need to find a way to be able to export image from Explorer.  Is there a way or add on that would allow us to export the map window to a jpg or other image format?

"Copy to Clipboard" button on Home tab would save current map view into memory (clipboard), then you could paste it into Paint program, and save it yourself to any image format.

If you want to streamline the process (saving JPG automatically once you hit the button), you'd need to program add-in to do this via Explorer SDK. This is pretty straightforward.

1. Get image of the screen via GetBitmap on MapDisplay: http://help.arcgis.com/en/arcgisexplorer/1500/sdk/componenthelp/index.html#//000300000585000000

2. Save bitmap on a disk

Hope it helps!
