PUB2000: Can't Preview Web Publication with Large Picture
This article was previously published under Q207609
If you insert a picture frame, OLE frame, or picture hot spot that is
larger than your publication's page, Publisher may fail when you try
to publish the page to a folder or preview the page in your Web
browser.
When you click either Preview Web Site or Publish Web Site To Folder
on the File menu, Publisher may stop responding. You may eventually receive
one of several error messages that state something similar to the following:
Publisher cannot create your online document because Windows is too low
on memory.
The same effect may also occur if you have a publication page that
consists of multiple frames that overlap to give a total area larger
than the page size.
When you preview or publish a publication as a Web site, Publisher
converts everything that is not a text frame to a graphic in the
CompuServe GIF format. To do this, Publisher converts all non-text
elements to approximately 100 dots-per-inch (dpi) bitmaps and uses the GIF
graphic filter to convert these bitmaps to .gif files. A larger graphic
will require more memory for successful conversion. Publisher also
converts everything that is covered by an image hot spot into a .gif file. If this conversion requires more memory than Windows can provide, the GIF filter will fail.
The size of a picture that you will be able to view on your computer
depends on the amount of memory and disk space you have available on your computer; that is, the more disk space and memory your computer has the larger the picture can be.
Before you publish or preview your publication, click
Design Checker on the
Tools menu. The Design Checker will check for objects that may cause a page to take a long time to download, including large graphics or groups of overlapping objects.
If you must have a very large picture frame on your publication, use the
crop tool to crop out all parts of the frame that extend off the edge of
the page. Remember, however, that a Web page that contains a large graphic
will take a long time to download, and the readers of your Web page may
click the Stop Downloading button in their Web browsers before they see
your picture.
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
