Publisher - Relink to different images with the same name

[garudha]

I'm making multiple calendars with the same text but a photo on each page for each calendar. With InDesign I would make a master file, break the links (by changing the folder name) and then duplicating the master file and relinking to a different folder where the images all had the same names, but were different.

When I try that with Publisher, I select the missing images in Resource Manager, click "Relink" and choose the new folder, but the links don't update - they stay as missing and refuse to link to the different photos of the same name. Does Publisher also check fliesize/date when relinking or something?

Is there some other way to do this in Publisher other than replacing each picture individually?

It works for me, so I'm not sure why it shouldn't work for you.

Here's an example:

Thanks lacerto - as you show, you have to choose "Yes" on the initial prompt. I was always choosing "Resource Manager" thinking that would have more control over where/how you relink files, but in this case, it seems to use other metadata to check that it's re-linking to the exact same image and won't allow you to fool it into accepting new images with the same name.

Strange that there is different behavior in the 2 places, but at least I can now get it to do what I wanted.
