Display options for your placed graphics:
Display
Gray out – Can be useful if you want to concentrate on the text
elements in your publication and speed your screen redraw.
Unfortunately, you cannot selectively gray out graphics. It's all or
nothing. With advent layers this option might be obsolete. If you want
to hide graphics, place them on their own layer and hide that layer as
needed.
Standard – The view you work in most of the time. Standard view
enables your screen to redraw faster by displaying the low-resolution
screen-only image. As long as your links are up to date, the low-
resolution image is only for the screen. When you print, the real
graphic is sent to the printer for high- resolution output. You can
adjust the resolution PageMaker uses for Standard display in the More
Preferences dialog box.
High-resolution – Will draw the screen image from the actual graphic
file, be it embedded or linked. If your graphic file is more than a few
megabytes in size, this process can take an eternity.
Note: For best print quality, use the High Resolution setting when
you are ready to print.
