This has happened twice. I created a document, 75% of the pages have photos on them that printed beautifully when I saved the document after completing it. A couple of weeks later, I went back to it again and every photo in the 70+ pages was low resolution and I had to re-place every single one.

After I replaced them all, I saved the document and printed it--perfect.

I just reopened it again after about 2 weeks, and the same thing has happened.

This is on windows on an HP laptop. I do not want to go through this again.

Can you help me with this? Thank you

Where are the images located? For example, are they on a local hard drive, on a network drive, USB drive, ... ?

If you open Resource Manager, what does it say about the images' status?

Hi mnelson!

Is it possible that you moved the files on your Hard Drive? In that case Publisher would only show previews of the images, that have a low definition. As Walt says, the Ressource Manager should tell you if the images are still linked to the document.

Hello! Thank you very much to both of you for responding to my question. After I finished my project, I did reorganize my photos, and I did not realize moving them effected them in the document. The Resource Manager asked me to find some of them. Now they look normal in the document.

This is odd to me. I am not well versed in this type of work and I do not understand why if you save a document that the location of the photos in the computer has bearing on the quality of them. 

Could you explain this to me please?

Thank you very much,

This should help but if you have further questions please ask again

To use the Resource Manager:

  1. From the View menu, select Resource Manager.
  2. Select the resource(s) you need to manage and choose from the available options

This is wrongly stated. The resource manager is in Tab Window not in view.

If you're reporting that as a problem, it would help to know where it was wrongly stated.

Thanks. My assumption, given the timeframes mentioned by the OP, is that they are using V1 of the application. And (I assume for that reason) Carl pointed to V1 Help. The information there is correct for V1, not "wrongly stated". 

You're right that the information in the V1 Help is not accurate for V2, if that's what the OP is using.
