Publisher 2003 resolution

[Marcus]

Is there a way that I can specify the document's resolution? I believe the
document defaults to 200 DPI, I want to be able to change this. Thanks in
advance.

You can change the resolution by saving as an image format.

The only point at which a document has a resolution is when you save it
as an image file. Otherwise, the document has theoretically infinite
resolution, except for the imported images, which have their resolution
determined by the pixel size and the printed size. To increase
resolution of those images, you have to either resize them smaller, or
get higher-resolution source material.

I guess what I'm wanting to know is there a way to define the target output
resolution so that all assets, graphics, charts could be developed in the
same.

I have used Adobe Pagemaker 7.0, I know, I said the "P" word, and have the
option to define the documents output target resolution. I.E. 96, 300, 600,
1200, etc...

Seems like I had read where I could modify Publisher's StartUp file to
define this and other options. Is there a file that defines certain defaults?

As you're not developing the assets within Publisher but within other
programs, I don't see what Publisher could do about this.

Haha... I haven't really used PageMaker myself, so can't claim
experience there to know what setting a global document resolution would
do, apart from set a default for the Save As Picture (and possibly PDF
output) options...

Not that I'm aware of - I think the resolutions available in the Save As
dialog are hardcoded.
