A minor issue, once you know, and probably Windows specific. 

If a linked file is moved then on reopening the document (Publisher and Designer behave the same) one gets a sensible message ...
Some of your linked resource files are missing , would you like to locate them
Options are Yes, No and Resource Manager

If you go to Resource Manager and use the Relink option, (which seemed obvious at the time!)
one is offered *folders* to choose from - which makes some sense if you know where the files are.
But with no files visible in the selected folder and the Windows message showing in that folder that    "No items match your search"  , I found this very confusing.
The files had (obviously) been moved and I was not 100% sure where they were, and looking at blank folders didn't help.

If you go to Resource Manager and Replace,
one is offered *files* to choose from and the files are visible in the currently selected folder.

If you Take the 'Yes' option from the opening dialogue, one follows the 'Replace' path with files visible.

My thought is that the Relink option might be better using the Replace UI logic to show all files but with the filename preselected.
