Notes
When you save a map or
map template with this version of MapPoint, the file is saved in the file
format for this version of MapPoint. Therefore, if you open a file that is not
a map or template with this version of MapPoint, make changes to it, and save
it, you can only reopen the file with the same version of MapPoint.
MapPoint cannot read
