## Q101692

    The information in this article applies to:

     - Microsoft Publisher version 2.0

    SUMMARY
    =======

    NOTE: This information is in the Publisher README.HLP file that ships
    with Publisher 2.0.

    You can import Kodak Photo CD (.PCD) graphics using either the Import
    Picture command under Publisher's File menu, or the ClipArt Gallery
    utility included with Publisher.

    However, the ClipArt Gallery does not display the Kodak Photo CD
    filter dialog box, so the only way you can modify the resolution of
    imported Photo CD files if you import them using this method is to
    change the default resolution of the filter in your WIN.INI file.

    MORE INFORMATION
    ================

    To set the default resolution in your WIN.INI file, do the following:

    1. From the Program Manager File menu, choose Run.

    2. In the Command Line box, type the following

          notepad.exe win.ini

       then choose the OK button. This opens the WIN.INI file in Notepad.

    3. If there is not already a [MS Photo CD Import Filter] section in
       the WIN.INI file, create one. (Position the mouse pointer below all
       the text in the file and type [MS Photo CD Import Filter].)

    4. In the [MS Photo CD Import Filter] section, add the following line,
       where N is the default resolution you want to use:

          DefaultResolution=N

       The default resolution can be any number between 0 and 8. You
       should use the smallest number possible for your output. A larger
       number means a larger file and higher resolution. A larger number
       means a higher quality image, but slower printing and display in
       Publisher or any other application.

       The following table defines the resolutions you can select. Note
       that 16.7-million-color (24-bit) graphics are very high quality,
       but print and display very slowly; whereas, 256-color (8-bit)
       graphics print and display more quickly:

          256 Colors (8 Bit)
          ------------------

          1 = 128 x 192
          2 = 256 x 384
          0 = 512 x 768
          3 = 1024 x 1536
          4 = 2048 x 3072

          16.7 Million Colors (24 Bit)
          ----------------------------

          5 = 512 x 768
          6 = 128 x 192
          7 = 256 x 384
          8 = 1024 x 1536

    5. From the Notepad File menu, choose Save and then Exit.

    6. Restart Publisher (this is necessary to make the changes you
       made go into effect).

    Now when you import Photo CD graphics, the graphic will automatically
    be imported at the resolution you specified in the WIN.INI file.

    For more information on the Import Picture procedure, see pages 243 to
    244 in the "Microsoft Publisher User's Guide." For more information
    about using ClipArt Gallery, see pages 236 to 241 in the "Microsoft
    Publisher User's Guide."
