How do I increase resolution (dpi) in office document imaging?

[Robins]

I'm using Publisher/Office Document Imaging to create TIFF files. The maximum
resolution is 300 dpi. How can this be increased?

Why would you need the resolution increased? If you have an editing program, you can
resample the images.

Let me be more specific. I need to prepare diagrams at >500 dpi in TIFF
format for a scientific publication. I had used publisher to prepare the
diagram and had printed it to the Office document image writer as an mdi
file, and then opened it in Office Document Imaging and saved it as a TIFF
file. The max resolution coming out of this process seems to be 300 dpi. Can
I get a 500 dpi file using this method?

Thanks
Robin

What about your scanner software, will it allow a 600 dpi setting?

I'm not sure I understand. I'm not using a scanner. Do you suggest I print
out a paper copy of the diagrams and scan them in?

I'm using Publisher/Office Document Imaging to create TIFF files. The
maximum resolution is 300 dpi.

I would suggest downloading and installing PDF Creator with AFPL GhostScript
from https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=57796 and GSView
from http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost.
Use PDF Creator to convert your publication to PDF, and then GSView to
convert your PDF to a TIFF at the resolution of your choosing.

When I first read your first post, for some reason I thought you were using
Microsoft Office Document Scanning, not Microsoft Office Document Imaging.
Maybe Mary made the same mistake.
