As far as I know, all you need to do is save the map, open Paint, click File --> Open, then find where you saved the map and then open it.

I'm pretty sure that paint can open a jpeg, and maybe a tiff. Once you save the map to your computer, you can also right click on the map icon, click Open With and select Paint. Beware that if the map is big as a jpeg, it'll be huge as a bitmap (paint file). jpegs are compressed files.

Yeah, Paint can open pretty much all images, .png,jpeg etc and mtm4319 said just what needs to be done.. I always find saving mspaint files as .png is often a good compression.. Lowers the size lots (depends what it originally was) and yet has a better outcome quality than the heavily compressed mspaint jpg's
