Hi, Using Publisher on a Mc, OS 10,10.5. Working on a book chapter with many small linked Illustrator files. When I got to about 150 linked files I started getting error messages in a a pop-up box that says "Failed to open file" and gives me the name of one of the linked files, and then "The file could not be opened because there are too many open files in the system." After I click through a hundred or so of these boxes, I can get access to the file, and I see that many of the linked files are marked "missing" In resource manager. The files are where they have always been; Publisher is not linking to them. If I attempt to work on the file, I get the whole string of a hundred popups again. I work routinely on illustrated books with 1,000 or more links, so need a work-round for this. Questions for the Forum: Has anyone else seen this? Is this a bug, or is there a known limit to the number of linked files you can have? Any suggestions? Can I get around this by embedding them? As a trial I am recreating the file with all embedded images. I will report on what happens. Thank you, J.
