    - How do I import Publisher98 documents to Publisher 2007? Have produced every document ever needed for my business and personal life with Publisher 98. Just upgraded to a new computer and decided to try the new Publisher version by downloading the trial version. Copied my old 98files (documents) onto the new computer and put them into the Publisher 2007 folder. Opened 2007, then tried to open one of my old 98 documents only to be told that there was not enough memory, which is silly given the new computer is a zillion times more powerful than the last. Tried tech support and told that the trial version did not qualify for tech support, and besides, to transfer these files was a very complicated thing. Is Publisher 2007 the same animal as Publisher 98, just newer and with more bells & whistles, or is just a Microsoft product with a similar name? If it is the same, why can't I open the documents? Is it possible to accomplish this? I really, really, do not want to have to redo everything on this new version. Thanks for everyones help... Tag: why are my recolored images washed out? Tag: 173777

    - Supersized documents I do a 6 page newsletter that incorporates maybe 15 or so images (some clip art.... some snagged from the web). Copyright issues aside (this is a SMALL NEWSLETTER for local members of a craft club -- no money making involved), I am frustrated in that my document seems to grow to enormous sizes. Generally -- I take last month's document... do a save as... then delete nearly all of the content. This preserves the need for recreating several repeat features/headlines. Pictures are usually either jpg or gifs. I then rebuild next month's newsletter. I print it to PDF for easy distribution to craft club members. I noticed this issue is more than 16 MB. HUGE!! And not quite finished yet! I haven't written to PDF yet -- but you know it will be of substantial size as well. I do have a number of little text boxes lying around the "gray space" while I work on the document. What suggestions can you give me to help keep the size of my documents down? What picture format is recommended? (I can convert using PSP if needed.) I do have to snail mail some copies -- so image resolution for printing needs to be maintained. I am using Pub 2000 on a Win XP Pro System. Thanks in advance. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kathryn Groves Tag: why are my recolored images washed out? Tag: 173759

    - 2007 - true type fonts I read the conversation about not all fonts available in Publisher at this site, but it did not help. My document is not a Web publication, it is a Print Publication. I have gone to Control Panel, Appearance and Themes, Fonts and all the true type fonts are there. But when in Publisher and the menu for fonts, none of the true types are available. I am able to use the true type fonts in other software, so the printer is not a problem. How do I use true type fonts in Publisher 2007?

    - Embedded TIFs vs. JPGs Our marketing department uses Publisher for our many many project proposals. We have Publisher documents saved that are used as â??templatesâ?? for the proposals we create â?? start from a template and add to that any information needed for the current proposal. The template files have a lot of embedded images which are TIF files. As we add pages to these files, they are become very large (200 MB sometimes) that modifying them in Publisher is becoming a chore and performance is poor. Linking the images is not an option. My questions: If we replace the TIF files with JPG files: 1) The files will surely be smaller, but will the performance improve? 2) JPGs are known to lose their clarity over time, where TIFs are lossless. If we put the JPG into a document and leave it there, will the fact that it is lossy make a difference if we arenâ??t modifying the image at all? What if we make copies of the Publisher document over and over again? Will that make a difference to the clarity of the picture? We donâ??t want to change the TIFs to JPGs and then realize down the line that our images are not sharp. Thanks so much in advance. Tag: why are my recolored images washed out? Tag: 173712

    - Publisher - Read file I have a mysterious situation that I need some help on, please. I have a client who has a 6 employee office. The network is straightforward, a workgroup with good practice sharing and permissions. Nothing locked down or complex. Everyone in the office contributes to a newsletter which resides on a server network share. Everyone has read/write rights to the share. One guy, lets call him Bob can open the newsletter, can save it to the share as another name but cannot save it as the original name. Publisher/Windows tells him it is read only. No one else experiences this problem. Let me recap. The PUB file has no read only attributes set. Bob can create and edit and save a file he edits in the share folder. Bob cannot save the communal document even when no one else has it open. He can save it as another name. Everyone uses Office 2003. Anyone have any ideas?????

    - Importing .pdf file into Publisher I've seen the articles here about Publisher not being able to directly import a .pdf file. I downloaded GhostScript and converted my file to .png. So, now that I have this, I'm not seeing a File > "Import" command. I'm not sure which Insert option to use or if this is the right way to get it into Publisher (2007). If I Insert > Object, I get a bad case of the jaggies when it prints, and also, the original image size is lost (business card). Any help on how I can get my .pdf business card into Publisher so I can print it would be greatly appreciated. Tag: why are my recolored images washed out? Tag: 173670

    - How do I Search .pub file contents in Vista? How do I get Microsoft Publisher's .pub file contents to be included in Vista's Search index? The only time I've used Publisher was for the 3 years (7/1/2002-2005) when I was editor of "The Spokesman", my local Rotary Club's weekly newsletter. I have nearly 150 .pub files, each about 450 KB, all in my folder E:\Rotary\The Spokesman. When I click the Vista orb and type a Rotarian's name into the Search box, I get a list of "hits" in Picture files and in emails, but .pub files are never listed, even when I know that name is in many of them. How do I get Vista's Search to find the name in those .pub files? I've used Indexing Options, of course, and made sure that my data folder is included. Also, under Advanced | File Types, I've set the .pub extension to "Index Properties and File Contents"; the listing shows "Plain Text Filter" in the Filter Description column.

How do they print? What is your idea of washed out? When you re-color an image,
every pixel tries to become a shade of the color you designated. Insert your
picture twice, re-color one of them and compare.
