    - merging name tags After I merged name tags (eight on a page), I saved the file so I could clean up any names that weren't fitting properly. When I re-opened the file to print it, it printed out each name eight times on a page instead of eight different names on each page. Any suggestions on how to fix this? Thanks!!

    - Can I save large publisher documents in smaller page increments? I have a large Publisher 2003 document that, when saved as one file, locks up my computer. Our tech guy told me to save it in smaller parts. I was hoping to save it in 5-page increments, but that doesn't seem to be possible. Anyone have any ideas on how to do this more simply than just dragging, deleting, adding, etc.. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    - Saving pictures to My Pictures Hi, I have Publisher 2002, Windows XP. I've worked with Publisher for years so I'm pretty comfortable with how it works. My question is about saving pictures. 99% of the pictures I edit in Publisher are then saved in designated folders in My Pictures. No matter if I select File, Save As or right-click and select Save as Picture, I always have to follow the same procedure: 1. Save My Documents 2. Select file "My Pictures" 3. Select designated project folder 3. Change type from gif (default) to jpeg I've gone into Tools, Options to modify these settings and so far I'm only successful in saving directly into the designated folder if I make it the default. Even then, I have to select the file type. Is there any way I can save pictures as jpegs directly into a designated My Pictures folder? It is really time-consuming to go through all these steps when I'm saving dozens of individual pictures into one folder at a time. Thanks. - KP Tag: why do semi-transparent autoshapes print in full color? Tag: 157702

    - Merging excel data into publisher in 2 places I have a publisher page that i would like to merge one address field on the top portion and the next address field on the bottom portion. My printer then cuts the page in half so i have two large postcards. I cannot figure out how to get the very next address field to appear in the lower portion, only the current top address populates top and bottom. Can this type of merge be done? Anyone have detailed instructions on how to get two separate address fields on one page? Thanks in advance. -- Chuck Tag: why do semi-transparent autoshapes print in full color? Tag: 157676

    - Publisher newsletter template and mail merge There's a heck of a good 14-page tutorial on using MS. WORD and a mail merge at: http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/tr/downloads/home/lowe_word4_mail_merge.pdf My question is: is there a similar excellent tutorial for using PUBLISHER and mail merge? Or will that WORD tutorial also work for PUBLISHER, substituting PUBLISHER stuff where needed? I know, that's probably a stretch. I publish a 6 to 10-page newsletter about three times a year for my Rockland (Maine) High School Class of 1952, and I'd like to use a mail merge to automatically put the 90 addresses (of surviving classmates) on the last page of that newsletter as I print the last page of every issue. I use a newsletter template in PUBLISHER to lay out the newsletter and I'm very pleased with it (9 issues so far), except that I can't quite figure out how to use the mail merge feature with it. Everything I've read so far has been too complicated, but I found that WORD tutorial cited above to be quite clear for that program. Is there a similar one for PUBLISHER? Or do you have any other advice for me regarding a mail merge with a PUBLISHER newsletter template program? I've been reading this Usenet group for about a year and have often benefited greatly from the acumen of the PUBLISHER experts who freely give of their expertise on it. I'm glad to have the opportunity to thank all who contribute to it. Hope you can help me on this specific topic too. Bill Pease Rockland High School Class of 1952 (Go, Tigers!)

    - Printer switching in Publisher 2007 When opening a Publisher 2000 document if the default printer had changed a warning message would popup informing the user of this and the current printer would be used. "The printerselected for this publication, "Printername", cannot be initialized or is not installed on the system. Publisher will change the publication printer to "Newprintername" instead." This was very handy in a networked environment when the user might not always be at the same station. In Publisher 2003 this feature seems to of disappeared so if the user doesn't manually change the printer each time the document prints to the wrong printer (even if only one printer is installed), when network printers are used this can cause users documents to print in the wrong office even though the current printer is selected in the File - Print menu. Will this warning message return in Office 2007 or is there a way to make 2003 produce this warning? Tag: why do semi-transparent autoshapes print in full color? Tag: 157649

    - Publisher Substituting Fonts Iâ??m experiencing the following problem: 1. I create a new publication using default Times New Roman font 2. I save the publication and exit 3. When I re-open to edit I get a message/dialog stating that the font CG Times is embedded and/or unavailable. I can either click on OK and the entire text will be in CG Times (which impacts formatting). Or, I can select â??Font Substitutionâ?? which appears to let me select Times New Roman, but then after clicking OK the entire document is still in CG Times and formatting is off. Any suggestions on what may be causing this to happen? This does not happen on every publication. -- cascadegirl Tag: why do semi-transparent autoshapes print in full color? Tag: 157620

    - update problem-crossposted As I seem to have been abandoned by MS I thought I'd ask here. I have retail versions of Office 2003 student and teacher and Publisher 2000. These are not OEM or illegal copies. I was having numerous problems updating Office 2003 and was lead through an un-install and re-install by MS tech support. Received many updates that installed correctly until... I received a message that I needed to install updates for Office 2000 and that one had to be installed first and separately for the other to work. It would never download. After hours on the phone with MS it was determined that since Publisher 2000 was a part of Office 2000 I needed the updates. I should point out that I've never had Office 2000, just Publisher 2000. Office tech support transferred me to Publisher tech support. The tech had me install a program allowing him to control my computer. An our or two later nothing had been resolved. He couldn't figure it out. He told me Publisher 2007 was coming out soon. I asked him if installing Publisher 2003 wold allow my Office updtaes to download and install. He assured me it would. So I asked him to send a copy of Publisher 2003. He said that sounded fair as we had spent a lot of time with no results and told me I may have to pay shipping. I agreed. A week passed and he called me back to inform me his supervisor would not allow him to send Pub 2003 and that I should buy the program. So MS wants me to purchase a new version of their program so I can get updates for another program. Then the tech told me if I didn't want to purchase, to find a friend or neighbor with it and install from their copy! Told him "no-that's illegal. I want MS to take ownership and do whatever it takes to make it right. I then received an email that the caxe was resolved-closed. I mailed back that this wasn't the case and got all sorts of replies taht someone would contact me to resolve the issue. It's been two weeks and nothing. So any suggestions? From Help-check for updtaes-these are listed.

I am creating a sales flyer and like to have soft washes of color behind the
products, but when I set the transparency to 70% in an autoshape it still
prints at 0%. Any advice?

If you're using Publisher 2003, export a high-resolution PNG file of
each page and print that.

If your using 2007 Microsoft Publisher, use the PDF converter add-in to
convert to PDF and print that.

Transparency has always been a problem with Publisher.
Try this workaround
Transparent AutoShapes or transparency patterns do not print as expected in
Office XP programs and in Office 2003 programs
