    - Slow printing a mail merge from publisher 2007 I am trying to print a duplex leaflet from publisher and add customer addresses by mail merge. Everything is working ok but takes a very long time to process and print. I have tried breaking down the mail database into smaller chunks to cut down time and also made the publication smaller by making pictures links rather than embeded images. Any other ideas?

    - Publisher 2003 Cannot Open Application After several months of successful opening of a shortcut to a Microsoft Publisher 2003 file, I can no longer open the application. I respond to prompt to open in safe mode, then respond yes to repair, then the program Publisher crashes. This has happened before, and I contacted the paid support and paid $50 or so to fix the problem. The fix was to create another Windows user record for myself because apparently my original user record had become corrected for Publisher. I don't want to create another user record this time, because that wound up giving me more headaches. Can someone please give me an insight on this annoying problem?

    - multi-page newletter web page messed up format I have a multi page newsletter in which the main page have hyperlinks to the other pages. I read that single web page can allow me to send just the first page of publisher with the links activated so that readers can click to continue to read other page. But when i save the page as single file web page and view it, the format is messed up, some of the texts are smushed together and there are images that i have long deleted but now they are suddenly on the web page. Is there a way to have the web page format be exactly like the one I've created in publisher? Or is there a better way to send this one page newsletter(with hyperlinks to subpages) so that most people without Publisher 2003 will be able to open the attachment?

    - help with 2 fold brochures I am trying to put together a 2 fold (4 panel) brochure to send out for an upcoming gymnastics meet. Basically it's 2 fold-on the front of the first fold is where you put the title of our meet etc.. The back of the fold is where you put the mailing label. You then open it and it opens to a 8 1/2 by 11 page where on the left you have gym info and the page to the right is the form to fill out. That's it but I have no idea what template to use.

    - Multiple Catalogue Merges: Same Publication I'd like to several sections of the same publication to be data-driven. Catalog Merge seems to be a good initial option but it's limited (1 catalogue merge per publication). Has anyone overcome this limit, programmatically or otherwise? A macro could likely pully in the data from multiple sources, but no, the merge features allows formatting to be applied to the merge area & fields. I don't see how a macro could replicate that.

    - Calendar Formatting Date Range problem Hi, I am trying to make a monthly calendar that our administrator can update easily with new dates, and mail out. I've formatted the calendar and it looks great as it is right now for the month of April. However, when I choose "change date range" it reverts back to the original formatting and I have to start all over. I realize this is because I used a "design object". However, if I don't use a design object, then I can't change the date ranges. How do I change the date range on my calendar without losing all the formatting changes I made?

    - Mail Merge Printing collated When I print a mail merge (I don't use it for mailings and envelopes), Publisher prints out the first 5 records as an individual document then the next 5 as a seperate document, and so forth.

How can I get Publisher to print the entire merge as one document before printing the second, third, copy?

Copy the list to a Word table, sort, copy back to Publisher.
