    - Mouseovers in Email Good Afternoon, Our office uses Microsoft Publisher to create newsletters and distribute them via email. We've noticed in the received emails that there are mouseovers, yet we are unable to delete or edit them. Is there someplace in the file itself that these may be edited? Or do we need to edit them in our email program before being sent? Thank you very much for your assistance. Katie Tag: How do I retain formating while resizing page? Tag: 179148

    - Avery 5689/8387 First, I realize this is a popular problem in Publisher, but I tried the solutions that I read and they have not worked. Second, I have Publisher 2007. Third, why isn't my Avery Postcard available in Publisher? I also tried Avery's website, but their downloadable templates are only for Word. The Postcards that I have are 4 to a page. I tried changing the sizes in Page Setup as I read in previous questions, but I could not get the layout to read 2 of 2 columns. I also do not see where to change the setup to landscape. I hate Vista and everything along with it :) Thanks for your help! Tag: How do I retain formating while resizing page? Tag: 179147

    - PDF Add-in colors changed to black using Publisher 2007 I have Publisher 2007 which shows it to be Beta2 though it came pre-installed on a recently purchased PC. Help shows that it is SP1 MSO (12.0.6213.1000) I installed theMicrosoft Office PDF/XML add-in which works well apart from where text is coloured. Where is is the case, it is converted to black in the resulting PDF. I have tried High Quality and OCmmercial printing setting and checked advanced options but can't see any setting which may be causing this. Design Checker flags the coloured text as being RGB so I converted it to CMYK but is still gets changed to Black when Publish to PDF (or Save as PDF) are used. (I tried to Apply to the Beta feedback site to report this bughttps://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/default.aspx?SiteID=227 but whilst there were Apply buttons for other software these now seme to have been removed for this product even though there are still recent feedback posts being recorded.) PS: Adobe Acrobat Standard is also installed and preserves the colour of the text but I would prefer to use the PDF add-in becuase it seems more relliable when rendering non-standard fonts.

    - xp/vista incompatability? I created several pub files using office 2007. I pasted in multiple Word docs created with two computers, one using XP, the other using Vista. The files using docs from both computers will not open ("publisher cannot open this file" error). I ran a test with 6 Word docs created on XP pasted into a publisher file, opened closed it with Vista computer, no problem. Pasted 1 Word doc created on Vista into the same file then closed and tried to reopen document but got the aformentioned error message. I tried the registry fixes Mary Sauer suggested but no results. Thumbnails of unopenable pub docs are showing fine in Publisher Recent Publications, just can't the ones that contain both XP and Vista Word docs. Tag: How do I retain formating while resizing page?

    - Exporting Colour Schemes Hi, I need a way of forcing many people throughout my organisation to use a standard set of colour schemes. We are working with a commercial printers, and I need to make sure that everyone is using CMYK colour space within Publisher. My plan is to set up a range of accpetable colour schemes, then remove all the default colour schemes to force people to use the correct ones. There doesn't seem to be any way of exporting schemes within publisher, so I was hoping I'd be able to find a file somewhere which stored the schemes I could copy onto all my users PC's. But I can find such a file. Does anybody know where the colour schemes are stored? Thanks, Tim Tag: How do I retain formating while resizing page? Tag: 179129

    - Different header for each chapter I am having trouble applying a different header to each chapter of my publication. I have inserted a section break and if I change any of the headers in any section they all change to match. The only way around this is to use a different master page for each chapter which somewhat defeats the purpose of having a uniform master page. Am I missing something?

I am now working at home and my printer does not have duplex printing capabilities. I have already prepared my son's wedding program as an 8 page booklet in Publisher. Now I'm not sure what the most efficient way to print it is. Since it's already set up as a booklet, I can't just feed them back in because of the way it sets the pages up.

    - Problem with copy/paste function Hello, I've been using Publisher for 3 1/2 years - taught myself how to use it, and I've gotten fairly proficient. But, I'm having a problem that's never occured before. First off though, I am on a networked system. Most of the files I use are on the server which everyone has acccess to. We are all using the same version of Publisher (2000 v.6.0) I was given a new hard drive in June by the church board of trustees - nice, huh? It's much faster than my old one and I've had relatively few problems except for this one I'm dealing with for Publisher. Ever since getting the new drive, which has the same version of Publisher as my old drive, I have not been able to copy and paste from one Publisher document to another. I have to copy from the Publisher document, paste into a Word document, copy that and paste into the different Publisher document. I never had to do that before, and I'm guessing that it's a setting somewhere, but I can't figure out which one would have an effect on this function. II did a detect and repair, but that didn't seem to have an effect. It acts like it's copying from the first document, but when I click paste, or ctrl V, or any other copy/paste command Microsoft has, nothing shows up. I clicked on the background to see if it might be going there, but no luck. Can anyone help with this problem? Thanks! -- JH Tag: How do I retain formating while resizing page? Tag: 179040

    - HELP!!!! Printing only half of document. I have a booklet I have created in Publisher 2007. It is sized to be 1/2 of an 8.5" x 11" (portrait)page so I can get 2 booklets from one set of paper. The total booklet is 32 pages (8 sheets of double sided paper). When I print the document 2 sided (portrait), only half of the pages print. If I print single sided all pages print. If I print double sided landscape all pages print, however the printing is in the center of the paper and requires substantial trimming (e.g. wasted paper). I have modified page size, margins, etc. and the same issues seem to be occuring. Tag: How do I retain formating while resizing page? Tag: 179033

    - Publisher 2003 Outside Margin Printing Problem Using Publisher 2003, my right side margin guide is set at .4". The document when printed, cuts off the text.

    - printing transparency problems still In a previous post, said publisher has problems with transp. Would installing a new graphics card cause a problem. I tried using the transp. on pictures, and it still gives me the problem. It is alright till I go to print. In print preview looks fine, I haave the printer set up to have a separate print pre view, when it does that, you can see the picture is going to be blotchy. I have unstalled and reinstalled the drivers, without any luck. Would it be the printer or the program? Trying to figure this out where I did not have the problem before.

    - Cannot open file I spent the best part of an afternoon editing some maps, yet Publisher 2003 kept stalling towards the end. It got to the point where I was saving it after every change but the reason it was stalling was because it was too big! I sent it to a different (read better) computer but even with the extra memory and swap file size, it couldn't open it. What I would like to do is convert the .pub to a .jpg, then finish my edit using the (hopefully much smaller) .jpg, rather than start the whole damn thing over. Is there a way to convert a .pub file WITHOUT opening it in Publisher? Would Publisher 2007 be able to open the file? Tag: How do I retain formating while resizing page? Tag: 178951

I have a booklet I redo periodically. This year we'd like to resize the
booklet from a 5"x7" to a pamphlet size (to fit inside a #10 envelope).

Currently it's publishing in booklet form with 24 pages. The number of pages
changes from year to year and it is done with a card stock cover so simply
changing to a pamphlet form will not work.

Unless you are going to maintain the same proportions, it's not going to be
easy. It'll have to be done manually.
