SYMPTOMS
When you select a graphic in a Microsoft Office Publisher 2007 or Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 publication, the graphic may not appear in Graphics Manager.



CAUSE
This issue may occur if either of the following conditions is true:
 * The graphic is being used as a picture fill for either a text frame or a Publisher drawing object.
 * The graphic was created by using the Publisher drawing tools, or the graphic was imported and then ungrouped.



RESOLUTION
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
To use a graphic as a picture fill, follow these steps:
 * 1) Select a text frame or a Publisher drawing object.
 * 2) Click the arrow next to the Fill Color tool, and then click Fill Effects.
 * 3) Click the Picture tab.
 * 4) Click Select Picture.
 * 5) Select a folder that contains graphics files.
 * 6) Select a graphics file, and then click Insert.
 * 7) If you do not want the picture to be distorted, click to select the Lock Aspect Ratio check box.
 * 8) Click OK.

Note If you perform this procedure with an Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) file that uses spot colors, those spot colors appear in the Colors list, even though the graphic itself does not appear in Graphics Manager.
