MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / August 2006Publisher - repeated images have different file names, why?
In creating a website, with the same logo on each web-page, when it is published each page uses a different image file, e.g. image112.gif on page 1, and image143.gif on page 2. This means the browser cannot used the cached image from page 1 when displaying page 2, and therefore has to download more content than neceesary. The images are identical - in size, file, position on the page, and are included on the master page. How can I make eacg page link to just one image file, e.g. logo.gif? Assuming that you upload your logo image file to a folder on your website called "Images", then using the insert HTML code fragment tool, modify and insert the following code where you want the logo to appear on the page: <IMG SRC="http://yoursite.com/Images/yourlogo.gif"> DavidF > In creating a website, with the same logo on each web-page, when it is > published each page uses a different image file, e.g. image112.gif on page [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > How can I make eacg page link to just one image file, e.g. logo.gif? David, I can see how that would work - and that may be the final solution I use. Unfortunately it would mean however that within publisher (2007beta) I wouldn't see the image, even in preview mode and so don't get the benefit of WYSIWYG. I'm using publisher as a friend wants to use it for their website and whilst I'm comfortable with a naked HTML fragment it will be all greek to them. I'm surprised that Publisher duplicates images this way and hence unnecessarily increases download times? > Assuming that you upload your logo image file to a folder on your website > called "Images", then using the insert HTML code fragment tool, modify and [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > > > How can I make eacg page link to just one image file, e.g. logo.gif? Solved. Publisher creates two versions of images - even if they occur just once. One image is used by browsers that support vml, one image is used by browsers that don't support vml. So if an identical image appears on three pages, there should be only two images published.

You figured out what it does, but be careful about deleting any of the "extra" images. It is likely to create problems. Read what I said in the other post about compressing the images to at least mitigate the file size bloat and loading time...

Actually if you write the link as I proposed, and have your computer connected to the internet, and the logo image uploaded, then you will see it in preview mode. When Publisher was adopted into the Office family, starting in version 2002, Microsoft started using VML and such with the goal of providing the best image for any particular browser, and that was when the coding engine started producing multiple copies of the images, and bloated the file. However, even with Pub 2000 and before, the coding engine would produce a copy of each image on each page...just the way it is. That's why I think importing logos and other images that you might use on each page makes sense, but I do understand how your friend might have problems with this approach. One thing you can do, and should do, is to compress the images before uploading, especially if you aren't using an image editing program to optimize the images for the web prior to embedding them in the Publisher document. Reference: ""Compress graphics file sizes to create smaller Publisher Web pages": http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA011266301033.aspx You will get much faster loading images...
