The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Publisher 2000
This article was previously published under Q218725

SYMPTOMS

When you delete pages in a catalog, Web page, or newsletter publication created by Microsoft Publisher, the size of your publication may not decrease as expected. For example, if you delete a page containing a graphic that is 3 megabytes (MB) in size, the publication file size will not decrease by 3 MB.

CAUSE

Pictures from deleted publications are stored for further use in the Microsoft Publisher Design Gallery. This behavior only occurs with catalog, Web page, or newsletter publications.

RESOLUTION

  1. If the Wizard is not displayed, click Show Wizard in the lower-left corner of the Microsoft Publisher window.
  2. Click Extra Content.
  3. Click Delete All to delete all content not used in the current publication. Alternatively, click Delete to remove individual objects.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Publisher 2000.
