    - Why are lines and borders not displaying but do print? When working on a Publisher 2003 document I cannot see any lines or borders. When I try to modify them, the selected color never shows in the box. I can click a new color but when I exit the color chooser the box is still blank. When I choose print preview no lines or borders display either. But when I print the document, the lines and border print. Tag: How do I stop Publisher 2002 lock up? Tag: 139688

    - select a range of pages to delete in MS Publisher Please tell me I am not the only one who thinks that deleting one (or two pages if you are in the two-page-spread view) is obnoxiously time-consumming. There should be a dialog box that lets you choose which pages to delete. In the help files, it even tells you that it is best to delete four pages at a time, but you still have to delete pages one or two pages at a time. This is ridiculous! Hope someone will consider fixing it in the next releas.e ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

    - Recovering lost file I used Publisher 2003 for the first time to create a 50 page business proposal, and then tried to use an org chart add-in feature to create a diagram to insert back into my document. Now, I have no idea where the original 50 page document is. Could I have saved the org chart over the document? Could I have not saved it at all? How can I get back to that original 5o pages worth of tediuous work? Please help. Thanks so much. -- E Scott Tag: How do I stop Publisher 2002 lock up? Tag: 139675

    - Pls help - Best graphics format for high quality brochure I'm making a high quality glossy brochure using Publisher. I created a very nice graphic in Photoshop that I want to use as the background for each Publisher page. When I import the file the graphic degrades somewhat. What is the BEST format to use when going from Photoshop to Publisher? Any suggestions as to how I should do this? Also, any way to smooth fonts in Publisher (I think it's called aliasing?)? Thanks. FYI: In Photoshop I made the graphic twice as big as I would need, 17inches x22 inches. Thanks! Tag: How do I stop Publisher 2002 lock up? Tag: 139673

    - M/S Publisher 2003 with M/S XP Professional OS After a hard disk problem last week (would not boot) I bought a new hard drive only and had it installed, afterward I was informed that the hard drive had become unbootable so my data and files are still there. With the new hard drive containing the same XP Pro Operating System as the old hard drive, I then designated new hard drive master and the old one slave. I then went in and installed the very same M/S Publisher 2003. I can not gain access to my personal user files off the old hard drive. I am able to access, move, copy and edit all the other user files except for my own. (In case it would help to know I'm designated Administrator with the same passwords on both systems) Is there any hope of saving my data that is on my old hard drive?

    - Formatting and Styles throughout I have a question for you about formatting and styles. I've used these in many programs and am well-versed using them in Word. I have now to do so in Publisher and am new to the program. The question is: how are styles most easily applied in a large document when things like headers and then body-text are grouped in style but not location. For example, a list of features and their operation. The headers and body-text are mixed throughout. Do I create a separate text file for each feature heading and then a separate file for each text body that is associated? If so, how do I keep them linked? I assume that there are text boxes and various placement mechanisms... how would you structure what I am describing? Paul Tag: How do I stop Publisher 2002 lock up? Tag: 139647

    - Frequent "Error must shutdown" My Publisher 2003 has been giving me an error message and restarting for months now. Sometimes I can work for 30 minutes, sometimes it shuts down after only a couple of minutes. It seems to happen when I complete a project, and go to the next one. I send the error reports requested, thinking at some point a fix will be made available. I'm not seeing any post addressing this issue. Is this something unique to my system? I have reinstalled Pub with no results. I'm running XP Home SP2. Tag: How do I stop Publisher 2002 lock up? Tag: 139632

If I try to make this single A5 pages (using page setup) some of the font sizes and types change - mostly becoming very big making other text disappear into overflow, requiring almost a complete rework of the publication (28 pages worth). Is there a way to stop the fonts changing? Tag: How do I stop Publisher 2002 lock up? Tag: 139631

    - Four-up postcards not aligned right I'm using Publisher 2003 to print postcards four to a page. They are "off" by about 1/4 inch to the left. This isn't awful for the two postcards on the left side of the page, but the two on the right side of the page are unusable. How do I fix this problem? I used Publisher's postcard format, 4.25" by 5.5". I've tweaked the postcard size down a bit in Page Setup (to 5.35") in order to insert a .1" side margin and a .2" gap between the two postcards (it's called a "horizontal gap," based on a portrait orientation, even though I'm printing landscape). This ALMOST gets what I want, but it's still not perfect! Part of what I market myself on is attention to detail, so this is a Big Thing... any help would be gratefully appreciated!

    - Why are graphics invisible in Publisher? So I've uninstalled and reinstalled all of office (the repair function wouldn't work) and my graphics still won't appear in Publisher (other than those created with a wmf format, Gif, Tiff, JPEG all are invisible). I've double checked the picture/view feature, and this is clicked correctly. They were there one day, gone the next. If you click "hide pictures" on the picture/view function, it will at least outline the areas where the graphics are. The graphics appear on other machines. Any other ideas on fixing my machine?

    - Question on Flyer Options, Tear Offs Office 2003 Good Morning, I have Office 2003 SP1, and have figured out how to use the tear offs feature through the templates and through the design gallery. That's not my problem. My question is, when you start Publisher, and select New Pub from Design>Flyer>Sale> then one of the templates with the phone tear-off, once the flyer is designed, why then when the Flyer Options are visible is the Tear Offs section grayed out? What would I need to do to make that a valid selection and change my layout? The same goes for the Graphics section. It is also grayed out. I assume it's a wizard action that's locking it out, but I can't seem to find what I need to do to unlock it. Thanks, Tony Tag: How do I stop Publisher 2002 lock up? Tag: 139562

Now for reasons unknown to me I keep getting a ($*)#& message saying my printer doesn't support the version of Postscript required by the program. What I've attempted to far: - Uninstall and reinstall the print driver. - Checked settings in printer preferences (there are no Postscript options whatsoever). - Experimented with different printing and color settings in Publisher. - Printing a new, blank document from Publisher. - Downloaded/installed latest Office updates. - Ran Detect and Repair utility, first for Publisher, then for entire Office Suite (from Add/Remove programs in Control Panel) I can print from other programs (Word et. al.) so I know it's not my printer.
