PUB98: Large Graphics May Not Convert Correctly (178612)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q178612 SYMPTOMS
If you add a picture frame that is larger than approximately 24"x24" to a
publication, and you attempt to publish or preview the publication as a Web
site, the picture may not convert. When you view the Web page, that picture
may appear blank or as a partial image.
CAUSE
When you preview or publish a publication as a Web site, Publisher converts
everything that is not enclosed within a text frame to a CompuServe GIF
formatted graphic. During this process, Publisher converts all non-text
elements to approximately 100 dots-per-inch (dpi) bitmaps and then uses the
GIF graphics filter to convert these bitmaps to .gif files. Because large
graphics require more memory for conversion, the conversion may fail and
you may not receive an error message.
RESOLUTION
Whenever possible use smaller, less complex objects on Web pages to improve
the amount of time it takes to download your Web page. Avoid using large
graphics because they will cause your Web page to take a very long time to
download.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article.
