Save an embedded picture as a linked picture

When you save an embedded picture as a linked picture, Graphics Manager uses the embedded picture data to create a new linked picture and removes the embedded picture data from the publication.

1. On the Tools menu, click Graphics Manager.
2. In the Graphics Manager task pane, under Select a picture, click the arrow next to the embedded picture you want to save as a link, and then click Save as Linked Picture.
3. In the Save As dialog box, browse to the directory where you want to save the linked picture.
4. For File name, type a name for the linked graphic.
5. For Save as type, select the graphic file format in which you want to save the linked file.
6. Click Save.

Notes

• If you save vector graphics (such as Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) files or Windows Metafile Format (WMF) files) as bitmap graphics, you will degrade the image quality.
• If you save an EPS file as any type other than WMF, you will degrade the image quality when printing to a PostScript printer.
• If you save a high-resolution bitmap graphic (such as a Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) file) as a low-resolution or compressed bitmap graphic (such as a GIF or JPEG) you will degrade the image quality.
