Break a link to a picture file

If you break a link to a picture file, the picture in your publication will no longer be updated whenever the picture file is updated.

  1. On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, and then click Graphics Manager.
  2. Click the name of the picture whose link you want to break.
  3. Click Break Link.
  4. Click the option you want.

    If you click Embed the full-resolution graphic and the picture you chose is missing, Publisher displays the Break Link to Graphic dialog box so you can find the picture. Click the file name of the picture, and then click Break Link.

    If you don't see the file you want, switch to the drive or folder it's in.

  5. Click Close.

Note   If you break the link to a CMYK-separated picture, such as a TIFF, Publisher does not preserve the color separations.
