    - Calendar Formatting I am using Publisher 2003 to create a monthly calendar that I would like to print in ladscape mode. The days of the calendar has text that discribe what will be happening on that day. Is there a way to one, change the format of the text for all days of the calendar at once and two, change the dimensions of the boxes for each day so they are all of the same height and width at once? In other words I would like to change the properties of one of the days of the week and apply those same properties to the rest of the days of the week on the calendar without having to change the properties of each day one at a time. Thanks. Tag: How to draw a family tree Tag: 175141

    - Need help saving a file! Well let me start off by saying that I feel lost using the Office 97 programs! I had to make a new resume so I got myself a template off of the site here. It opened up in publisher so that's where I created my resume. I've put a lot of time into it and now realize that I think I made a huge mistake! How the heck do I save it as a more "acceptable" file without screwing up the format??? (for uploading as an attachment) Or is that just not possible? I've tried saving it as a word document, but like I said, screws up the whole format. I'm really lost, don't know what to do! Thanks in advance. Tag: How to draw a family tree Tag: 175116

    - Line up text with baseline guide AND have space between paragraphs I have text boxes with multiple columns and I want to vertically align the lines of text across columns, which I've done by aligning my body text style to the baseline guides. But I also want a space between each paragraph that is smaller than a whole line spacing (in Word it would be 12pt font with space after paragraph = 6pt). I have tried adjusting my baseline guide spacings and my style paragraph settings to every possible combination but I can't seem to achieve this. Settings currently are: body text = TNR 10pt, line spacing 10pt baseline guide = spacing = 13pt, offset = 0 This gives me the spacing I want and it's all nicely lined up, but I have no extra space between paragraphs. I'm very close to resorting to blank paragraphs of a different size, but would really rather not! Tag: How to draw a family tree Tag: 175086

    - Completely, totally and utterly OT: Picture It Photo & Print Studi Yes, I know the app in the subject's ancient (released towards the back-end of 2001, IIRC) but ISTR that the images and clip-art were of very high quality and I'd like to access it for general usage (i.e. in Publisher and PagePlus X2). I have installed PIP&PS no probs, and can launch it but, when I attempt to open any project (whether blank or predesigned) I am, rather unceremoniously, without the merest hint of an error message, dumped back to the desktop. Now, I am thinking that, when it was first released, XP (I'm running Home SP2) was still either in beta, or had just been released, which is probably the cause of my woes. Now, M$, as is its wont, has encased the images and clips inside proprietary 'sbs' and 'sbt' archives (it's the former that actually contain the needed - the latter just look like some kind of 'pointer' file). So, I suppose my question is twofold: - 1) Can I persuade PI to open its own projects and/or 2) Is there any way of extracting the images from within the 'shoebox' files (I did find something called 'xtractor.exe' but that doesn't appear to want to run outside of PIP ('unable to decompress the package due to corrupt archive.' I've no idea what it means by 'corrupt archive' - I assume it's referring to itself). I am attempting to design a flyer for a friend's chocolaterie - and am wanting to do it the lazy way! Any chance of this working; or am I, as I suspect, SOL? *I believe this was called Picture It Publishing 2002 in the US/Canada. Cheers my little chickadees, P.T. P.S.

    - mail merge troubleshooting I am looking for troubleshooting help in Publisher 2003 mail merge. We are trying to add mailing addresses to a full color 4 page 8 1/2 x 11 booklet. Original booklet file is 13 MG. 300 Addresses are in an Excel file. I have tried 2 different excel files. We got this to work once for 1/2 the list before it quit. In November I got it to work, albeit slowly, and 10 addresses at a time. I have since had the registry fix installed and double-checked by our IT dept. Since the registry fix, I cannot print the file, or pdf it with anything involving a merge. I also tried to cancel the merge. Since I cancelled the merge, the merge wizard is greyed out. Any suggestions? I have searched the Help files and the forums; The past week I have tried everything I can think of. Am working off my desktop; Also tried renamings, re-copying original, etc. Is there a Bible on Publisher merges that goes indepth? We would really like to use the merge feature, but we need to iron out the kinks first. Thanks! Tag: How to draw a family tree Tag: 175073

    - Cannot access a Publisher doc without my printserver being on I can start up my Publisher program but cannot access a doc, either new template or an active one, without having my print server turned on. As publisher boots up, it looks for the print server and if it doesn't see it across my wireless lan, it gives me a msg that it can't find it. It brings up Publisher and when I open a doc, I get a Microsoft error and the program shuts down and starts a loop of opening, producing the err msg, & shutting down. I have Office 2007 and it doesn't happen with Word or Excel or Outlook. I can't find this problem listed anywhere in the help files online. -- Joan N. Tag: How to draw a family tree Tag: 175047

    - PbSaveOptions.pbSaveChanges causes exception I'm trying to automate the daily updating of my company's price list, which is a publisher file, programmatically. Lots of details I will probably have to ask about later, but the problem I'm having now is that I can't open my publisher file using the Application Open() function with the PbSaveOptions.pbSaveChanges option set. My code looks like this: Application pubApp = new Application(); Document availabilityDoc = pubApp.Open(availListFile, false, false, PbSaveOptions.pbSaveChanges); where 'availListFile' is a string holding the path and filename of the file I want to open. It's on the local c: drive. It compiles fine but at runtime I get the exception "Value does not fall within the expected range." If I change pbSave Changes to either of the other two options, 'pbPromptToSaveChanges' or 'pbDoNotSaveChanges', I don't get that exception. However, I really do want my changes saved when I close the document, and because I want it to execute automatically in the middle of the night, I don't want to have to answer a prompt. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and I've referenced MS Publisher 12.0 Object library. If it matters, I've got MS Publisher 2007 loaded on my machine. I don't think it's a permissions issue as I've opened everything up, both the file and the folder it's in, so there shouldn't be an access issue. Any ideas how I can get around this and still keep the changes I'll be making to my file? Thanks! Glenn Tag: How to draw a family tree Tag: 175019

    - the correct program This is by no means a bash against MS Publisher. I am working with a client that is assembling hundreds of reports utilizing MS Publisher. These are intricate financial reports with tables, graphs, charts etc. that are many pages long, so it is by nature a very intense procedure. The information comes mainly from Excel workbooks by way of copy and paste. This has been an OK procedure but the fact remains that to insert a page...redo page numbers and deal with the idiocincracies of ever changing information have made this a nightmarish duty to say the least. Would someone at least give me an idea if my theory is correct that MS Word would be a better choice in this case for it's very robust nature and ability to deal with the challenges of long documents over MS Publisher. It has been working but there are many advantages I see that point to the use of Word in this case. Please make your suggestions good, bad and ugly.

    - Publisher 2003 Bug with aligning at angles? I made a 3.75" diameter circle and then put more circles inside, each one 0.25" smaller in diameter all the way down to 1.25". Then I drew angle lines across the diameter of the largest circle, every 7.5 degrees, all around the circle. I made little rectangles 5mm X 2mm in size and placed them along the bottom half of the circle where each of the angle lines and the 3.5" circle intersect (Each of the small rectangles was also rotated to the same angle as the previously drawn lines that span the diameter of the circles). I then selected the rectangles on the bottom half of the circle and copied them. I pasted a copy of the rectangles and grouped them. Then I flipped the group vertically. When I tried to align the group of rectangles to the top half of the circle, I found that the little rectangles are out of alignment and are not where the angle lines and 3.5" diameter circle intersect. is this a bug? or did I do something wrong.

Maybe something to spark an idea.

At http://www.desktoppublishing.com/templ_mspub.html

Half way down the miscellaneous list is "Family Tree".

(Publisher 2000 will open it, so most any version should be able to use it)
