Linked or embedded files

[VectorMax]

I have a Publisher doc in which I have (so far) imported 50 A4 sheets, fairly "simple" drawings (particularly loaded ...) from Designer.
The total document weight is 730 MB, whether the files are linked or integrated.
Of course the files are linked, the loading time is as long as in the "integrated" version. And what motivates this plea is that when I open my document, I must systematically update the modified files in the meantime! (the update in "live" works well). According to the doc there should be a difference in weight, and the loading time will be much faster. Did I miss something ?

Actually, linked documents (designer, photo, publisher docs, PDFs, PSDs, …) aren‘t really only linked. An instance of these documents are kept within your file. If you want really linked element, use image files (tif, jpg, png, …).

 Aaah ?   Yessss ... it is not very clear ... this software does not seem really finished to me      To follow...

This is improved in the 1.8 beta, I believe.

Thank you Walt for that ray of hope. We suspect that Publisher is going to evolve, no doubt we are in too much hurry, we always want more!

Hello everybody

we are testing the suite in our office.  And we miss a lot the link tool from indesign. We use to work parallel with some people (one in publisher and two or three in photo) and everyday we update our graphic content in the document. So it will help a lot to have a tool at least so useful like the tool of indesign. So the man in publisher can check which graphics are updated. And he can load them in just one minute.

Sorry. I found the Resources Manager...
