    - Activation For Trial Version Problems I have downloaded the trial version of Publisher 2007 and installed it. When I try to Activate it I get a message saying "A communication error has occured. Please try again." It appears that the problem is that it won't connect over the Internet yet I have Internet connection available and I am online. I also noticed when I tried to install Windows OneCare Live I got an error message saying there was a Network Connection problem. I have did everything possible and this still won't activate. Can someone tell me what is wrong because the articles in the knowlede base do not solve the problem. I have also contacted my ISP and they tested my connection and nothing is wrong with it.

    - Color/Grayscale Toggle Button Stuck When I am in 'print preview' in Publisher 2007, the color/grayscale button reacts like a toggle switch. However, the toggle switch/button is engaged to view in grayscale mode and will not disengage to view in color. When I press the toggle switch/button to disengage (even though it won't), and move the mouse to the document, I see the magnifiying glass, zoom in/out.

    - Another curvy question.... I've now discovered that I can get some cort of curvy linear arrows by using the Autoshape connectors, and this wouldn't be a problem apart from the fact that the curved connecting arrows default to an 'S' shaped curve, whereas I only want a simple arc. By manipulating the yellow adjustment handle I still don't seem to be able to get a proper arc shape - it just moves the unwanted bend in the curve. Any suggestions?

    - Paste Special drops cells from Word and Excell Our church is using Publisher 2003 to do our bulletin and newsletter. When we try and use Paste Special to paste the calendar from Word 2003, it drops the last row of cells bottom of calendar (they do not show up in Publisher). If we go back to Word 2003, new document, and paste, everything is there. The same thing happens when we try to Paste Special from Excel 2003. It drops the last column of the Excel sheet. Any suggestions on how to fix this? The calendar and Excel sheet are put together by another individual ( not the secretary) and emailed to the church office. The secretary also says that sometimes it will paste the whole clipboard. I do not have specifics on when this happens. I know the problem this time is with the August calendar which has 6 rows.

    - Comparing Versions Hi, I looked around the Microsoft Office Suite website a bit today, and I found a page that compared PREVIOUS versions against each other in sort of a table format. Here's the link : http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/FX102144881033.aspx I like this format, but I cannot find a page that includes 2007 in the mix. There's of course links about why I should try the 2007 version but it's not a table, so I'm not readily able to see the benefits of 2007 over 2003 over other older versions. 1) Does anyone here have a link to a side-by-side comparison table for Publisher? 2) How about Visio?
