SYMPTOMS

When you select a graphic in a Publisher 2003 publication, the graphic may not appear in Graphics Manager.

CAUSE

This issue may occur if either of the following conditions is true:

  • The graphic was created by using the Publisher drawing tools, or the graphic was imported and then ungrouped.

RESOLUTION

This behavior is by design.
