Specific instructions on the process may vary based on the software package you're using, but basically, you need to paste or insert the image into a map or flood map form. In some software, there is an "Insert from Clipboard" feature you can use instead of simply using the Windows Copy feature. For specific instructions on this process, refer to your formfilling software vendor's documentation.
