    - Custom Background Issue First, I am not even close to a professional computer anything! Last week I pulled in picture to use as a background for a flyer that I am doing. Everything was fine- it printed fine and was viewed fine. Yesterday I received a new "template" from our design company and did exactly the same things and when I pull it in to the more backgrounds area it looks fine on the background panel and in the print preview area. Yet the screen where you insert text boxes or design your flyer is black and I can barely see the background. Please help! -- T Tag: Won't print color Tag: 174343

    - Publisher no longer displays transparent gradients correctly. I have been working faithfully w/Pub 2003 now for a few years; I use the program predominantly for superimposing MS drawing objects and text over imported jpgs and other photo/graphic formats, which I then export with Save as Picture. As such, I have a "template" file where I keep several designs I have created and use regularly. All of these consist of a basic MS drawing object shape grouped with Word Art. The fill (for both) consists of a gradient with separate transparency settings for each color. I have never experienced *any* problems whatsoever with Publisher until recently, when I opened the above-mentioned file to find that all of the designs (word art and shapes - jpgs still display correctly) I had been using for months now display in what appears to be a 16-color mode. In troubleshooting the problem, I find that the program still displays gradients correctly, and that the problem manifests when I attempt to apply any transparency whatsoever to the object. (This applies to newly created objects as well.) Further, when I group the object with a jpg and Save as Picture as I have in the past, the transparency displays correctly in the independent jpg, as it has always done. Rather curiously (and I suspect most telling), when I attempted to draw the same shape in Word, I experienced the same problem when applying the transparency to the shape - UNTIL I set the transparency to 100% and lowered it from there. I no longer experience this problem with Word, but this 'solve' did not work for Publisher. I have subsequently run a 'fix problem' installation and complete reinstallation of Publisher to no avail and all drivers are current. ...So the problem is basically one of convenience; it becomes rather difficult to design efficiently when I am forced to export the entire graphic to view it correctly. Why would Publisher simply begin to render differently like this? Thanks for the help, H Tag: Won't print color Tag: 174304

    - "Paste" always pastes same text Hi, I need to individually copy and paste a list of names into a text box in Publisher 2003. However, the Paste command (Ctrl-V or Edit/Paste) in Publisher seems to be "stuck." Each time I copy a name and try to paste it, the very first name I copied and pasted appears, not the name I just copied. I've tried emptying the Windows clipboard, but this strange behavior still occurs. The original names come from a multipage Word 2003 document. I've tried copying the names to Notepad to be sure they are in plain text, then copying and pasting them into Publisher. I've also tried copying the individual names from an Excel 2003 spreadsheet. Still, only that same first name pastes into Publisher. What's going on? Does Publisher have its own clipboard? I've copied and pasted text many times from Word and NotePad to Publisher, but it just doesn't work this time. Thanks for any help you can provide with this puzzling problem.

    - publisher trial probs First of all I am NOT computer savvy. So talk to me like I'm stupid. ; ) I recently downloaded Office 07 trial and designed a business card. I am having problems getting it to print correctly to Avery 28877 (they are severely off center). Tried to print them in Word (which I assume came with the trial) but there is no "Tools" on the toolbar (in Word or Pub) where the mailings/envelopes/labels drop down menu should be. When I try to open up my business card in Word all I get is a pop-up window that reads "file conversion" and what appears to be an encrypted version of my project. I have an Avery button on the toolbar but all that does is supply me with Avery blank templates. I tried giving upon my projeect and use the Avery template but they appear to be limited in their creativity(?) Avery was not able to help when I contacted them and suggested I contact Canon (my printer is a Pixma MP150) and have the newest printer driver installed. Canon replied back that there should be no problem with printing. Tried contacting MS because if I read their language correctly, I have 90 days free support. When I enter the product code (it is correct) I am told that this is an invalid ID. (81605-318-9013393-65171) I may be making more out of this than I need to simply because of my limited skills so any assistance is appreciated. Thank you. ~Ken Tag: Won't print color Tag: 174267

    - Changing page numbers Is there any way of making page numbering start at a different number? I created a 16 A5 page document, the first two and last two sheets were a cover page which I printed separately. When I printed pages 3-14 I was asked if I wanted the pages to be printed as a separate document and I replied YES. However the page numbering on this separate document started at page 3 - I would have preferred page 1. The obvious solution of deleting pages 1,2,15,16 did not work. When I deleted pages 1 and 2 the text moved on leaving blank pages. I realise now that the text of the document was a continuous stream and I had not deleted that part of the stream which was pages 1 and 2. -- _ _________________________________________ / \._._ |_ _ _ /' Orpheus Internet Services \_/| |_)| |(/_|_|_> / 'Internet for Everyone' _______ | ___________./ http://www.orpheusinternet.co.uk Tag: Won't print color Tag: 174250

    - *Color problems with fonts This has me stumped. XP sp2, Office 08, Publisher 07, swimming with memory. I have a text box with "red" text, 48pt (as it's supposed to be) but on the screen the text color looks blue. When I highlight the text and try to change it from the blue I see, the font color dialogue box tells me that it's already red... but on the screen it shows blue! No kidding. When I print the document, it prints red. Now here's the strange part. I'm on a network where our tech support can log on remotely. I had someone log on to see what I was experiencing. I had my document up with the "red" text showing blue. He logged on and when I clicked the â??OKâ?? permission button for his connection, my text turned red on the screen. As soon as he logged off, the "red" text turned blue again. Anyone else experiencing this problem? -- JMorrell Tag: Won't print color Tag: 174245

    - Publisher 2003 Printing Issue Hi, My client has Office 2003 SP3 installed under WinXP SP2. They are having trouble with printing a newsletter from Publisher. The publication is an 8-page newsletter in "booklet" form. Each page is 8 1/2 by 11. The printer is a Konica copier with large-format (11x17) and duplex capabilities. Everything works fine when the user prints the entire booklet to the printer. They get one booklet ready to fold. One sheet of paper has pages 1, 2, 7, and 8. The "inside" sheet has pages 2, 3, 4., and 5. However, the user needs to be able to print several hundred copies of each sheet individually. (The mailing house does the collating, stapling, and folding.) So far I have been unable to figure out how to tell Publisher to print pages 1, 2, 7, and 8 in duplex form (1 and 8 on one side, 2 and 7 on the other side). The Print dialog only has a From and To option, not the box like Word where you can type the list of pages. How can the user print one sheet at a time for this newsletter? Thank you, Mark Tag: Won't print color Tag: 174228

    - WordArt in Publisher 2007 I just upgraded from Publisher 2000 to Publisher 2007 and I just can't figure out the changes to WordArt... In Publisher 2000 when I created a new WordArt object, I could select a font size from the dropdown list or manually type in a specific font size OR I could select the "best fit" option to have the WordArt fit in my frame. So, if my frame was large and I selected a small font size, WordArt would just leave my font size small with a large frame around it. If my frame was small and I selected a large font size, Publisher would ask me if I wanted to resize the WordArt frame to fit the font size...but it would always leave my font size as I selected it. It doesn't appear that I can do this in Publisher 2007...It always appears to be in "best fit" mode. If I select a specific font size and type in the text for my WordArt and then change the size of the WordArt frame, Publisher keeps adjusting the font size to fit the frame which defeats the purpose of selecting a font size when I created the WordArt in the first place. Also, what happened to the "best fit" option and why can't I manually type in a specific font size instead of choosing the predefined font sizes in the drop down menu and why doesn't WordArt leave the font size as I selected it? Also, I'm completely frustrated with how "size" works when I am "Formatting WordArt." I dont' understand how inches come into play when letters are measured in font sizes, not in inches...For example, if I chose a 1inch size for the letter "e" in one WordArt frame and chose a 1inch size for the letter "y" in another WordArt frame...if I put them side by side, the "e" is stretched out to fit the 1 inch frame and the "y" is not because it is a longer letter with the tail of the "y" taking up part of the 1 inch frame and they look like completely different font sizes even though the "size" for both is 1 inch. I would prefer NOT to change the font in inches, but then I can't manually type in exactly what font size I want anymore, I have to choose on of the predefined sizes. So...getting to my question(s)...Does someone have answers to the whole font size thing in WordArt? Is there a tutorial that I'm missing? Is there something that compares WordArt in Publisher 2000 to WordArt in Publisher 2007 so I can figure out the things I need to do 2007 that I used to be able to do in 2000? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Shelly Tag: Won't print color Tag: 174220

    - Designing Clip Art for the non-artist Greetings all..... This might be a little off topic, but hopefully someone will have the knowledge and / or expertise to answer. I'm in the entertainment field and there is a lack of ' off the rack' clip art. So it seems the best thing to do is create what I need for business cards, brochures and flyers. At this point I'm clueless.... what software packages or recommendations do you suggest for creating clip art. I have camera's and can take pictures of related objects, but I'm not sure how to convert them into simple clip art. I can also trace objects that I'm interested in, and scan them in, but I haven't a clue on how to color them professionally, outside of using a paint program. I have both Adobe Creative Suite and Macromedia Fireworks 8....but they seem to be overkill for what I'm trying to accomplish. They both have a learning curve.... and so far I've found that Fireworks is a difficult program to work with. Any help for a newbie would be greatly appreciated... even a link to another newsgroup or forum where the answer can be found. Thanks in advance (again ) Peter Tag: Won't print color Tag: 174185

    - business card question - landscape on front - portrait on back - Publisher 2007 Greetings all.... Perhaps someone has done this before in Publisher 2007. I am designing double sided business cards. Using an Avery Form 8871. The front of the card is designed in landscape mode i.e. short side is pointing up A new page has been started for the reverse side using the same template. This page also shows in landscape mode. (short side pointing up) How do I design this in portrait mode with the long side pointing up. All I'm looking to do is just rotate the card so I enter the printing in portrait mode. Using page layout, changes the publication format to a custom card instead of Avery 8871. Rotation controls just deal with the object on the page. How can one rotate the image on an existing template so that it can be designed in portrait mode ?? Thanks in advance !!! Peter Tag: Won't print color Tag: 174184
