Does vector graphic imported into Publisher hold its original qual
I have made a lecture note for students in plant biology course. The document
of this kind needs many vector graphic illustrations. I have created some graphics with Corel Draw and exported it as PNG files (the default file type of the "Export to Office" feature of Corel Draw). The PNG files have lower picture quality than the original file, making the illustration in Publisher unclear. I've known that professional page layout programs like Adobe Indesign can import the vector graphic in its original quality. But such program costs expensively and the important thing is that only Publisher supports my native font (Thai) and hyphenation. How can I improve the quality of vector graphics imported into Publisher. Thank you in advanced for any help. Poom |

Try exporting it as a .tif.
I just tried exporting from my vector graphics program to both a png and a tif (a simple sphere with radial fill) and I could hardly tell the difference between the two when imported into Pub 2000. Your graphics may be more detailed. "Poom" wrote in message ... I have made a lecture note for students in plant biology course. The document of this kind needs many vector graphic illustrations.

Does vector graphic imported into Publisher hold its original qual
I use CorelDraw, if you copy and use "paste special" as a .wmf the image does not
lose quality. Saving an image as a Windows Metafile would be better than exporting as a bitmap, the images are much smaller and can be re-sized without distortion. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Poom" wrote in message ...

Does vector graphic imported into Publisher hold its original qual
Poom was very recently heard to utter:
The PNG files have lower picture quality than the original file, making the illustration in Publisher unclear. snip This is your problem. PNG is a lossless format, but it is not a vector format. That means that your PNG file is restricted to a pixel size, and so will not transfer all the detail of the original vector file. This means that even if you were to import the PNG file into an application like Adobe Indesign, it would still lose quality and pixellate. The solution to this problem is to export from CorelDraw in a vector format such as EMF or WMF. Alternatively, you could work out exactly what size you need your graphic to be on your final printed page, and export a PNG file (PNG is always recommended over TIFF, as Publisher sometimes has trouble with TIFF files, and PNG files are smaller) at 300dpi. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

THANK YOU for every suggestions.
I have tried saving vector graphics as WMF file and printed it out. The quality is similar to that of printed PDF document and IS HIGHLY SATIFYING. I don't know why I had overlooked this option for a long time! Poom |
