pictures wont show on screen or print in pub 2000

[grant walker]

hi, I am using pub 2000, I scan a picture into paint shop pro and then clean
it up crop it and then cut and paste into pub 2000 ready to print. Most
times this works with no problems but occasionally the pic will take ages
with the hourglass showing and no pic showing on the page on screen, and I
does not print either.

I save pics usually as .psp and .tif but even when I save these pics as .jpg
they do not show up. I print lots of pics why is there a small number that I
have trouble with?

thanks for your assistance.

You keeping well Grant? Hope you are not speeding to much around town!

Have you got decent drinking water in that town of yours yet?
They should just run a pipe across the river from the Koondrook water
treatment plant.

Grant just re-reading your post, I see it is only a small number of JPG's
you are having issues with.

This will be because the JPG's UN-compressed will be in excess of 16Mb.
Publisher has a 16Mb internal file limit, as all pictures in Publisher up to
2000 are saved internally as UN-compressed Bitmapped images.

Do you realise, you don't need to scan at any more than 150dpi for printing
to an inkjet printer.

Also make sure your C:\Windows\Temp folder and any sub-folders are DELETED,
and then re-boot, and then do a DEFRAG.

Post back if you need any further assistance.

hi ms publisher,
thanks for the info, I will check what the file size is and increase the
compression.

And yes, I am still cruising around Barham and any other place I visit too,
we now have filtered water, about 8 years ago in Barham and 3 or 4 years ago
in Koondrook, we are just waiting for electricity now.... lol

Now i am busting to know who you are.... i have seen your advice a million
times and it was a real buzz when you knew my name...

hear from you soon,

Grant.

Filtered water, I am talking about treated reticulated water to WHO (World
Health Organisation) standard.

JPG is a lossy picture file format, and degrades every time you save the
file. JPG is really a file format which should be forgotten about. PNG is
a far superior picture file format, and is a lossless file format.

Increasing the compression in JPG files, only degrades the quality of the
picture even further. PNG is a slightly bigger file size, but in all ways
is a superior format and suffers none of the ills of JPG. The major issue
of picture file sizes is people scan in to high a resolution for their
needs. Digital camera images are a problem, as people buy these high
mega-pixel cameras and generally have no need for such high resolution
pictures as they just print them out generally in small sizes.

I know you have electricity. New Zealand is the sixth world country that
only has intermittent electricity and communication to the outside world on
a limited basis.

Have they fixed up the Barham Bridge yet?

hi ms publisher, thanx for the reply,
i usually scan at 100 to 150 dpi if i am just going to scan and print, 300
dpi if i am going to enlarge the pic and ocassionaly at 600 if i want to
enlarge or heavy crop a portion of a pic. i usually save in tiff or psp,
only jpg when i need to put pic on a floppy or send on email. i have just
got in from tea at the folks so i havent tried or looked at the pics that i
was having trouble with. what baffles me is that i do so much scanning and
cutting and paste and messing with big files yet very ocassionaly the pic i
scan does not show on the monitor.... oh yes, who are you....
