Insert picture problems

[MarkB]

Hi all,

I want to avoid Publisher scaling the pictures I import, so I'd like to
have the graphic come in at a pixel resolution and DPI that will give me
the printed size.

I can't see how Publisher determines the size to display an imported
picture. I would expect eg. a .bmp of 3000 x 2250, at 300 DPI, to show
up as 10"x7", but it displays as what seems to be a max for Publisher of
11.6" x 8.7". The same picture at different DPI resolutions still
comes in at the same size, so it seems unrelated to DPI. And different
pixel resolutions come in at a max size of 11.6 x 8.7.

Also, I seem to have run up against a dimension limit for importing
graphics. File size doesn't seem to matter, but I can't import a
picture over 2600 pixels on a side. Is there a limit?

Thanks for any insight!

If you have Publisher 2002 you can link the files, but Publisher still

stores the file internally - yes we know it is totally bizarre and stupid.

Sorry, that was Publisher 2000. Pub 2002 fixed this problem.

The Rock expounded thusly :

Well, I've decided that Publisher is more of a toy than anything else,
and I'll probably put PageMaker on this box. I did discover through
experimentation that Publisher 2000 apparently changes whatever DPI
resolution a graphic comes in at to 96 DPI, and that no matter how many
pixels you bring in, it loads it at a max size of 11.6" x 8.7".
Depending on the pixel resolution coming in, Pub2000 won't even actually
insert the pic, though it goes through the loading motion-- the limit
for this seems to be 2700 pixels on a side. I have 512 megs of RAM,
BTW, so file size is not the problem, it's dimensions. Any chance later
versions have improvements in these issues?

Rock how bad how sad, you are totally incorrect yet again!!!

Publisher 2002 DID NOT FIX that problem.

You ain't no rookie, but you don't know much.

Rock, I think I can safely say, it is seldom I get it wrong. I think all
the regulars here will agree when it comes to knowledge of Publisher, you
are always on *extremely* shaky ground when going head to head with me.

Perhaps, although the "linked but stored internally" was also used in Pub
2000 as uncompressed files, creating HUGE file sizes. I had a 24 page
newsletter at 112 MB in Pub 2000 WITH linked graphics. Resaved under
Pub2002, the file saize was 6 MB. SO ??

Linked and Unlinked should be the same sizes in Publisher 2002.

Rock you obviously need some basic education in comprehension of Englise
language.

Publisher 2002 still stores the file internally - which is what was being
discussed in relation to the file being linked.

It is so easy to see why so much US industry is sent across the border.
Obviously the Mexican education standard is superior to the US and
manufacturers do not have to put up with people that cannot comprehend basic
Englise to carry out instructions.

Mike, never said all. It is inevitable there is a percentage of the
population that are not fully well, err, hmmm you know what I mean.

Glad to see you get your paper printed in the US. Somebody has to keep
people in a job and paying the taxes to pay for the free medical treatment
of your visitors. Pity your printer not modern enough to use a proper
measuring system like metric.

Mike, well that is now two things that will change in the not to distant
future in the US.
One is going metric and the other is Spanish will become the main language
with Englise being taught as the second language. How times are changing.
California may even be annexed and formally become a part of Mexico. Some
probably think it already is ROFLOL

Life is just to short to get serious.

Mike, your post sounds like you are writing about Australia. Absolutely no
different.
Same issues here with local government.
After paying the IRS/ATO, all the other taxes collected along the way from
all levels of government, I wonder how much actual cash we are left with.
The rich get richer, the poor get looked after like kings and queens in
Australia. You really have to see it to believe it, and the middle working
class are working like hell to pay for everybody. Truly amazing stuff. I
am keen to know where it is going to end, as it cannot go on like this.

Rock go and get some basic education.
When you get to PhD level, then come back to discuss things with me on an
equal footing.
By that time, you may actually be able to comprehend basic Englise.
I just wish they did not let people like you back out into the general
community under treatment.

MS, thanks for your answer to "Update picture changes wrap points, Pub 2002
& 03". I enjoyed the banter we had.

Would you prefer a Ph.D. from Oxford or Harvard?

Here is the farmland of Wisconsin, we call Ph.D. Piled Higher and Deeper.
That's manure, not knowledge.

Have a good one! I am learning to appreciate you.

Wisconsin is surely worth flying over, not stopping. However, the University
is spectacular.

Nothing wrong with Wisconsin in summer!!!

California well that is another story.

Is there anything positive you could say about it.

They produce stuff they call wine, others would call it frog p.
