    - Inserting Pictures When I am attempting to create something on a blank page and do the picture search, I get the message to insert the "Microsoft Office XP Media Content disk". What are they taking about? Didn't I get all I needed from the package I purchcased? Is it in the package? How is it identified? Tag: starting with page number other than 1 Tag: 99463

    - Screen Ruling Control Last week I changed OS on my PC from ME to XP Pro. Since then I have no control over the screen rulings in the photos used in Publisher sent to my post script printer (HP 1200se with PS driver) No matter what number I type in screen ruling dialog box (under print file) I get the same results (about 65 lines per inch) I tried downloading the lastest printer driver from HP but the results are always the same. My "levels of gray" setting is the same as before "standard" Can anyone help me? Thanks Tag: starting with page number other than 1 Tag: 99453

    - Default Tab Stops change in Pub 2002 I just finished my first newsletter using Publisher. I was using a tab stop setting of .12 instead of .5. For some reason I haven't been able to pin down, the default would get reset to .5 with the result of text at the end of my text boxes getting pushed off the bottom. Resetting the tab stop to .12 would fix everything until the next time Publisher decided I really meant .5! Any clues about why this is happening would be much appreciated.

    - Publisher 2002 and Brother 1850 I just upgraded to Pub 2002 on XP and have encountered the same printing problem with a Brother 1850 that other posters have noted. The printer accepts the job, then notes a paper size error. So far, everything has printed correctly by simply pressing the "GO" button on the printer. It's a pain, but it works. Has anyone found a better solution? I am using the latest PCL driver from Brother, and the Microsoft Knowledge base hasn't provided any help. I see that some users have had success using Brother's PS emulation driver, but I'd prefer to stick with the PCL. Thanks for any help or info. Tag: starting with page number other than 1 Tag: 99385

    - Convert .PRN to Word or other program? Is there a program or something that can convert a PRN that has been created by publisher or any other program, into a type of file that can be manipulated or at least copied from and pasted to another medium? I'm in statement processing and I've received some data that is in PRN format and I need to find a way to read it and/or manipulate it into a format I can use. What I need to do is take the data that is in .prn format and manipulate what is within it prior to printing. I basically need to take what is in the .prn file and convert it into like a Word format so that I can take the pieces of the data and use my Statement Processing Mapping program to place them to into proper order. Any suggestions for the conversion? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Daniel PPS, Inc. Tag: starting with page number other than 1 Tag: 99332

    - Publisher 2002 Last year we installed Publisher 2002 on our computers in our office. Before that we had Publisher 1998. Now when we open up a Publisher 1998 saved document on our Publisher 2002 program it messes up the lines and format of the 1998 format. It would take way to long to fix all of this mess. There has to be a way to get 2002 to not mess up the formating of 1998 documents. Can anyone help me with this? We do have Norton's Antivirus protection on our computers. Thanks for your help.

    - Opening files with old and new versions Unlike Excel, & Word, I now cannot open the new version of Publisher 2002 with an older one (Publisher 2000). In a secretarial pool, one woman has the newer version and now can not send the others in the office Publisher documents to review. I prefer using 2000 and DO NOT want to upgrade. I understand that the 2002 user can opt to save her document in a Publisher 2000(or earlier) format. So we tried that and it still could not be opened with 2000.

    - XP/Pub97 print problem Looking for help last night I saw a question concerning using Publisher 97 on XP. Since the answer was yes, I have a different question. I used to print statements with publisher, and had a clip-art at the top. Now, since I upgraded to XP, the clip-art does not print. Late last night I found that if I save the file then reload it, I can print one copy. The second print operation drops the clip-art. As long as I reload the file first, I can print another copy. I feel this is a 'settings' problem, but can't find anything that seems to fit. I really don't know where to look, Windows, Publlisher, or printer. Anyone ever see anything like this? By the way, the hardware is all the same as before, only change is Win95 to WinXP Home. Thanks, Stan Tag: starting with page number other than 1 Tag: 99212
