I use Windows 11 Home, version 10.0.22000 with an installed memory of 16 GB.
I use the function for placing images in a A4 document prepared with 40 pages. So I select 10 jpg-files with about 100 MB file size in total with the function 'place image'. With placing the first selected image the Publisher crashes.
If I select 5 of these jpg-files everything works fine, then repeat this for the second 5 jpg-files, it is working fine.
This issue was reproduced several times, it is not a one time case.
It seems the there is an issue with allocating sufficient memory for this operation. I would helpful if the application does not start image placing then a certain memory size is exceeded.
