Hi, reached page 40 of my book, containing 60 pictures. My Adobe indesign doc gave me a warning last time I opened: all the pics needed to be re-linked because they were supposedly modified. But I didn't touch them, so I wonder what happened. I know this is quite a boring 'specific' post, but I'm worried because I don't want to see a weeks' work go to pieces. Thanks for any suggestions.

why can't you just update them? do they relink all messed up?

To try to answer the question:

Did you move that file anywhere?

From a folder to different folder? To your harddrive to a external drive? From a zip disk?

Did you originally have the images in a different location and copy all the images into a different folder?

I don't see the problem in just updating it....but make a copy of your document and then update all the pictures. Or try opening the indesign document and collect it for output and it will automatically create a new document with all the pictures linked (it may ask you to update them).

after that... i can't think of anything.

hey, thanks for the quick response.
Yes I did just update and it seemed fine. Because I never moved the files I don't understand why the pop up appeared ( actually ran out of memory while relinking).
Suppose it's OK. Btw, how much memory have you allocated to indesign?

thanks again

indesign and quark are merely layout programs so i give it half of what i give illustrator and photoshop....

about 50 mb for quark...and the same for indesign.

knowing quark.....they probably never heard of alti-vec or multi-processors in macs before, but i still use it over indesign, who's the stupid one now?
