Stop "copy map to clipboard" being influenced by application window size

When using "Copy Map to Clipboard" in ArcMap or "Copy Map" in ArcReader, the resolution of the resulting image is influenced by the size of the application window.  So someone with a low res screen or using the application in a window - not maximised - will get a low resolution image.

Can the resolution of the resulting image be instead set by some other setting rather than this window size.

This is particularly important for ArcReader which doesn't have the option to paste as a metafile.

ArcGIS Desktop is in mature support and will be retired March 1, 2026 so we won’t be considering this idea. We recommend that you migrate to ArcGIS Pro, our fully supported desktop GIS application. See Migrate from ArcMap to ArcGIS Pro for more information. Thank you for taking the time to share your ideas.  We truly appreciate your contributions to continuously improving the software to help you do your work and look forward to what ideas you have for ArcGIS Pro.
