PUB97: Publish as HTML Creates Multiple Copies of the Same Image (172010)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q172010 SYMPTOMS
When you save a publication that contains multiple copies of the same graphic or
object in HyperText Markup Language (HTML) format, a unique GIF image is saved
for each copy of the object in your publication. There is presently no way to
tell Publisher not to save multiple copies of the same image when you save page
as HTML.
CAUSE
When Publisher 97 exports your page as an HTML file, each object is saved as a
GIF image. If you have multiple copies of an image, such as a graphic that
represents a bullet, then Publisher will save a unique GIF image for each copy
of that graphic. Publisher does not detect whether an object has the same pixel
pattern as any previously saved object. If Publisher were to compare the pixel
patterns of each object being saved, there could be a significant slowdown of
the conversion process while your Publication is being saved as HTML.
RESOLUTION
If your web page contains multiple copies of the same graphic, for example
Img0.gif, Img1.gif, and Img2.gif, modify the HTML source code to point to a
single copy of this graphic and discard the remaining image files. This may help
speed up the time it takes to download your web page since only one copy of the
graphic will need to be downloaded. To modify the HTML source code, use an HTML
editor, such as Microsoft FrontPage, or use a text editor such as Notepad.
NOTE: You cannot use Microsoft Publisher to edit an HTML document. Microsoft
Technical Support Engineers for Publisher cannot teach you to edit HTML
documents.
