    - Apostrophes and quotes change to Simsun when imported from Word into Publisher I am using Word XP and Publisher XP on a Vista system, and when I try to import a Word document into a Publisher text box, all the quote, double-quote and apostrophe characters change from Times New Roman to Simsun font. This is monospaced, so it throws out the spacing and looks ugly. I've tried to remove Simsun but it won't let me do that. Any ideas? Thanks, Jon.

    - Change font throughout a document (across a number of pages) Hi there, I was hoping that there is a way that I can change a font throughout a whole document (that is a number of pages long) in publisher - I guess I was hoping for a font substitution type thing (like you get when you try and open a file on a computer that doesn't have a particular font loaded in). I hope that is clear! Cheers Tag: Some Publisher dialog boxes not responding to mouse Tag: 175367

    - re: Change Page Order When you are in print preview, there is an icon that will allow you to see all four of your pages at once. It should say 8-1 2-7 6-3 4-5; if you have your duplex unit enabled and your page setup is booklet. If you did not originally setup your newsletter as a booklet you can rearrange your pages with the page sorter tabs, but you shouldn't have to, just re-setting up the publication to booklet would be enough. I don't have any other ideas. You could try saving to a PDF and then printing. The PDF add-in is pretty good. 2007 Microsoft Office Add-in: Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4D951911-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87041&displaylang=en -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com Tag: Some Publisher dialog boxes not responding to mouse Tag: 175357

    - Flyer/tent card question My pastor wants a flyer with a tent card front/back and a full page inside. How do I do this? (The tent card will have an announcement on the front, and church information on the back. He wants people to be able to unfold it and read full page information inside.) I've tried formatting two different page styles within one document, but Publisher doesn't allow two different formats within the one document. (I even tried repositioning the full page, but since tent cards only show a half of a full page at a time, it doesnn't look right. Will I have to save the tent card in one file and the full page in a seperate one? I have Publisher 2003. Any help will be appreciated.

    - change page order I have been trying to print a newseletter. It is 8 8.5X11 pages - or 4 11X17 pages. In the 2003 publisher I was able to change the page order on the layout tab of the page setup so my printer would print it correctly. In 2007, I can not figure out how to change the page order in order to print the newsletter. So it is printing it all funny with multiple pages on top of each other. How can I fix this to print correctly? Please help! Tag: Some Publisher dialog boxes not responding to mouse Tag: 175333

    - Unable to activate publisher I have a Windows 2003 Terminal Server - Office 2003 Professional. Word, excel, powerpoint work fine. Publisher closes when trying to create a new file.

I get a "feature in not available" hit ok and the program closes. Does anyone have any clue on getting this activated so we can use the program?

    - graphs I have been working on an issue with Publisher 2007 and 3D graphs for a while now. I have been given different pieces of advice but ont thing remains...any 3D graph appears to NOT be able to look even halfway decent. I have used the exact same settings between Word and Publisher as far as Font, Chart Type, rotation etc. and NONE of the prints out of Publisher look even remotely good. They always have pixelated edges. Even at full page size which I figured would cure it didn't work. On the other hand, anything I do to a 3D graph in Word comes out nicely. Different sizes, shapes, colors, rotations, resize UP, resize down...even to the point of being ridiculous have clean crisp edges. The only reason I'm chasing this issue is the company I'm consulting for has 100's of reports and documents in Publisher 2007. This didn't seem to be an issue in previous versions...and all thought that going to 2007 would only INCREASE the quality. On the contrary, there has been a marked DECREASE in at least the quality of this particualr element. Any help or comments are greatly appreciated.

    - Pages keep changing position I recently had Microsoft Office 2007 installed on my computer at work, and am having awful problems with Publisher 2007. I produce a multi-page newsletter which I originally created in Publisher 2000 and have imported into 2007. However, when I am in the middle of working on it, the pages seem to move around by themselves, so that page 1 may end up on page 7 and page 3 suddenly appear on the front cover! This makes me reluctant to save even the tiniest change in case other pages have moved spontaneously while I was working. Nothing in particular seems to trigger this movement. Has anybody else had the same experience? Tag: Some Publisher dialog boxes not responding to mouse Tag: 175290

    - Saving multiple pages as web pages in Publisher 2003 I have been send a Publisher 2003 document from another person. I wish to convert it to web pages so that I may load it so that other people can view it via a browser. I have tried to save it as single file web page or web page but only page 1 is saved as html. If I try to save each page individually, giving them an unique name, but only page 1 is saved, each time with the unique name. The on-line help does not appear to help much here. Does anyone have an idea what to do? I'm sure that I must not be the 1st to ask this. Alternatively is it possible to save the whole publication as a single web file?

    - Publishing on the Web Hello there. My name is Michael and I'm having a challenge with Publishing my web page on the Web. Here is what is happening. I am currently using Yahoo Geocities and uploaded my web pages. I go to view the Index, my first page, and it comes up well (outside of the graphics that I have not uploaded yet). So I click on one of the links on the side bar and down on the lower left corner (where the 'done' is) I see the correct page listed, but the webpage blanks out. I look up at the address and it still shows the address of the 'index' page. If I go to the address and manually type the next page that should have been linked to it will send me there.... Anyone have any idea what is going on? Here is a link to the first page: http://www.geocities.com/micisa_enterprises/index.htm Tag: Some Publisher dialog boxes not responding to mouse Tag: 175232

    - Picture frame box Hi there, I've just upgraded to publisher 2007 and i'm having trouble getting to grips with it, the main problem being the lack of quick and easy way of adjusting the frame around a picture. On publisher 2000 i'm sure there was a button you clicked and the frame shrunk down to the size of the image. The only way i've found of doing this is on 07 is by manually changing the frame by editing the wrap points. This is very time consuming when you have a lot of pictures to change. Oh wise oracle please show me the error of my ways. Thanks in advance Tag: Some Publisher dialog boxes not responding to mouse Tag: 175200

    - Slow printing mail merge Hi, I'm hoping to find a solution to slow printing from Publisher 2003, 4-up postcards with thousands of name/addresses being merged onto a very simple Publisher doc (each 4-up sheet spools at about 12K in size). I am printing through a Fiery print controller on a Xerox 252 using the PCL driver (PS was no help so far). I have already applied changes recommended in KBA 891904, which did speed up the processby sending in larger batches. I also checked the setting changes shown on KBA 279385, but saw no difference. Spooling jobs is still taking an unusually long time, though. Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Tag: Some Publisher dialog boxes not responding to mouse Tag: 175196

Trial?
Look under help and run Office Diagnostics.
Mouse options is a Vista function. Might look in the control panel for *Ease of
