MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / January 2007Saving pictures off Publisher 2003 made website
Hi there, I have created a web page in publisher 2003 with photos on it. the only problem is friends of mine ,who have viewed it, want to save some of the photos on it but no 'save picture as..' option comes up when they right click on each photo, only 'save background as' comes up in the right click menu . Its as if the photos have all been embedded into each html file of the web site. Is there any way to disable this and allow a website to be published which will allow you to right click and save images on it to your hard disk? (i imagine this will increase the size of the web page dramatically) Any help will be greatly appreciated! Thanks, MS decided to disable the right click, save as a picture option in Pub 2003, and unfortunately didn't make it optional. I am guessing the reason is that people wanted to try to protect their images from being copied that way. A workaround is to link your image to the original image, or a version of the image that you want to make available to be copies.

I would have thought that maybe it was sent to the background (sort of like putting a transparent frame over the image) so that right clicking brings up an empty frame? Doesn't the source code show something like <img src="picture.jpg"> so a viewer could enter www.mywebsite.com/picture.jpg into the browser and see the image?

However, given the way that Publisher copies, renames and uses different versions of the same image for different browsers, it does make it kind of hard to find the image name in the source code. If you see it in your browser, then you can find several ways to copy it. Its on your hard drive in a temp folder, for example. Disabling the right click option only slows down the person wanting a copy of the image...it doesn't stop the person that is determined to copy it. If you post it, it can be copied. Personally I would prefer that the default be to allow right click, and then if you want to add a code snippet to stop right clicking, that is easy enough to add. DavidF > David, > [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] >>> >>>Thanks, If the pictures are files somewhere else, pointed to from the web page, such as in an album created by one of the album programs, Porta for instance, then IE will allow you to save the picture. If you use Firefox instead of IE then even embbeded pictures in Pub Web pages can be savesd from the right click menu. Of course I understand IE is still the bowser of choice (or default) for most people. -- John G. > Mike, > [quoted text clipped - 58 lines] >>>> >>>>Thanks, Also true...if the images are imported, or you use FF you can right click them. The fact that you can use FF is another example of how someone that really wants copies of your pictures will also probably know a way of getting them. That's part of the reason I disagree with the right click being disabled by default. Thanks John G.

A buddy always writes in NGs where people ask about protecting their images - if you want to make sure no one can copy an image, don't place it on the Net.
