    - Changes to default tab settings in Publisher lost when closing fil In both Publisher 2003 and 2007, when I change the default tab settings in a file, when I close and then reopen the file the tab settings I made are lost and the formatting is messed up as a result.

    - Publisher 2007 and PDF size problems I created a booklet in Publisher 2007 and save as a PDF. I then put it online for view. It works well, but with one problem They always open with a magnification of 200% Can this be changed to a lower magnification without needing to buy Acrobat? Or is the setting in Reader? Thanks.

    - using bullets Just trying to find out if I can or cannot do this in Publisher. There are only a few bullet characters available in publisher and I would like to have access to more. In word you simply got to format select bullets and then use the import button to add an unlimited number of bullets. It appears that you cannot do this with Publisher. I work much better with publisher than I do with Word. Any suggestions on how I can increase my bullet inventory.

    - publisher converted print publication to web After saving my MS Publisher print publication, sometimes it has converted to a web publication after I open it. What causes this. I know I did not choose "publish to web." I found that having a web-link in the print publication could cause that spontaneous conversion. But recently it happend again, with no hyperlinks present.

    - Slow import of pictures When I import pictures while connected to my office network, it is really slow. When I go to my head office which is a few hundred miles away (and where all of the main servers are located), the import is almost instant. Likewise when I disconnect from any network, the import is instant. Why should it make a difference where i am located, especially as all i am doing is importing a picture from my desktop in each instance?

    - 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?

Is this possible using VBA? I've seen some code for a global S&R in all story types for Word, but nothing of the sort for Publisher (the Range type doesn't seem to exist in Publisher...!?) Is a global S&R possible for Publisher?? Thanks for your help! ~G Tag: How can i resize grouped text and maintain proportions? Tag: 178465

    - Insert or LINK to images Can anyone advise me - I am creating a range of documents which will only ever be printed from or viewed on the PC which creates them. The only exception to this is that I will occasionally e creating .pdf files from them which will be emailed to other people. In an effort to keep file sizes down I am using the LINK function instead of INSERT image. I sthis likely to cause any problems? My understanding is that if I wish another user (with Publisher) to open a file I have created then the pictures MUST be INSERTED, however I assume that the .pdf file overcomes this problem.

WordArt?
Group, right-click, click format object, size tab... This will change the
WordArt words without having to change the font size.
