Ingetrating Digital Pro with Publisher

[Dean]

I just upgraded to Publisher 2003 with Digital Pro 10. Is is possible to edit
photos embedded in a Publisher using Digital Pro from within the Publisher
program? Right now I'm copy photos into Publisher after enhancing them in the
Digital Pro program. If I want to make further changes after the photo is the
Publisher document, I go back to the save photo in Digital Pro and then copy
that photo into the document. If possible, I'd like to work on the photo
already placed in the document and save the changes there. Any suggestions?

*Copy and pasting images into Publisher is not a good idea*

Repeat 500 times.

Save the image to disk, then import from there into Publisher using Insert >
Picture > From File.

You can then if you wish import the image as a link (using the down arrow
next to the Insert button in the Insert Picture dialog), and when you change
the file from within DIP10, Publisher will update it (probably the next time
you open the document).

If possible, I'd like to work on the photo already placed in the
document and save the changes there. Any suggestions?

I'm not sure whether DIP10 can act as an OLE server - you could try Insert >
Object and looking for Digital Image Pro. (I'm asssuming that's the product
you mean, as I've never heard of Digital Pro.) I'd recommend against it,
though.

==================================
Your current method is correct...even though
these programs are purchased as a package
they are not integrated.

Thanks Ed. I'll work with your suggestions. Just for knowledge's sake, what
is the downside of copying a photo into Publisher versus inserting it?

Copying and pasting photos into Publisher has been known to cause file
corruption. In addition, depending on the source and destination apps (not
sure about DIP), you may not get the full-resolution photo. And Design
Checker will complain as it's not able to find the file from which the photo
was taken.
