TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I've had a couple of replise off list to this question - may be of
interest to others:
1 (From Geoff Hart) Educated guess - could it be that you've resized
or cropped or otherwise adjusted the graphic in another application (and
particularly an Adobe application such as PageMaker)? If so, the link
information showing the relationship between the two programs (i.e.,
between the Illustrator file and the application that's using it) may be
what's telling Illustrator that you've made changes.
2 (From Dick Margulis) - Sounds like you have linked the illustration
into a document (Word? FrameMaker?
PageMaker?) and happen to have that document open at the time you are
updating the picture in Illustrator. If that's the case, what you are
seeing is normal, if annoying, behavior.
Second was the case here as I was updating lots of graphics and jumping
between Illustrator and FrameMaker.
