    - How do I get my Publ. 03 web site on my Yahoo web site? I have Publ 03 under XP. I also have a web address in Yahoo (Geocities). I have been trying for weeks, but cannot find out how I can transfer my web site into the Yahoo site. I need to prepare my web site into HTML files, including an "index" and in my old Pub 98 there was a command "save in HTML" that did just that. This command seems to be missing in Pub 03. Please help me! Thanks, John Tag: Add text with Asian or Arabic characters? Tag: 137831

    - determining which version a file was created in Hi, My co-worker's laptop has some publisher files that look like they were created in publisher 98 - (i think that's the icon I'm seeing). When I try to open them, Publisher 98 says it can't open that version. Is there a way to tell what version they were created in without being able to open them?! Thanks!

    - How to print PDF for 5.5 x 8 1/2 booklet to show pages 1,2,3 I want to create a PDF of a booklet to post on the web. The booklet is 8 1/2 x 11 landscape and when folded is 5.5 x 8 1/2. It is 1-20 pages. When I create a PDF, it produces the pages, for example, printing 2 on lefthand side and 19 on therighthand side.But, I want to print pages exactly as I see on screen with no 2 on lefthand side and no 3 on righthand side. After no luck experimenting with Adobe Acrobat 7.0, am I going to have to print out the pages front/back, fold them, and then scan to get the pages to appear as they would in the book?

    - Left & Right Pages I am using Publisher 2003. Here's my question - I apologize if it's really wordy, but I tried the best I could to make it clear! I am creating a booklet using the 2-page spread. I have used a Master to create the left and right sides - the left side has the page number and title left-justified at the top - the right side as the page number and title right-justified at the top. This 36-page booklet is just a template. I have a text box at the top of each page next to the number. The left-side is left-justified and the right-side is right-justified. I will be using this booklet and creating 250 different ones - each booklet has different information on some of the pages. Also, each booklet will not be exactly 36 pages. I will be deleting pages throughout it. For these booklets, when I delete a page, it messes up my left and right-justification text box at the top because it moves the page over. Is there a way to keep this from happening? I have tried putting the text box on the Master slides; however, I am then unable to type in the text on each page (the text will be different on each page). I'm open to any suggestions! Thanks so much! Tag: Add text with Asian or Arabic characters? Tag: 137782

Basically, I guess what I'm trying to do is set up eight 8.5 x 11 pages all on the same screen so I can work with it similarly to the way I work with my Mac templates.

    - Can't Paste - Can't Save Picture As I want to insert some pages from a book in a PowerPoint presentation. Because the contain graphics, tables, charts, and images, 'regular paste' does not work. Usually, I 'paste special' and paste grouped objects as an enhanced metafile and it works like a charm. However, my clipboard is giving me trouble this morning and I keep getting 'busy' messages which is a problem in itself... Anyway, I'm trying to use the handy 'save as picture' feature in Pub2003. I am trying to save a group of objects as a picture in Publisher 2003. I can save them as a JPEG, but not as Enhanced Metafile. Any suggestions for getting the 'busy' message to disappear or get these images saved as enhanced metafiles? Tag: Add text with Asian or Arabic characters? Tag: 137750

    - Confused as to publishing a web site with Publisher I apologize for using the "General Questions" forum, but the Web Design area doesn't seem to get much response to questions (as I have previously posted there), and this area does and I could really use the help. Here are the steps I've gone through. I created a site in Publisher. I have acquired Yahoo as my web hosting provider. I attempted to upload my files the way Yahoo, and many other "help" sites say, by using Publish to Web, but kept getting firewall errors. Therefore I installed SmartFTP and uploaded my .pub file successfully. Then I realized I can't use a .pub file! (DUH) So, I saved my .pub as a web site, and then re-uploaded successfully. So far, so good, and it only took me an hour!!! Now the next trick. I renamed my file on Yahoo index.htm and then I viewed my website. The first page came up with the exception of an image. I click the link I set up that says "Enter site" and I get an HTTP 404 error. What am I doing wrong? Why can't I get to the other pages? When I preview the site while working on it in Publisher, all the links and images work. What am I missing? I'm new to this and could really use the help to get my website up and running...or at least up! Thank you! Tag: Add text with Asian or Arabic characters? Tag: 137651

They are installed in Windows and show up fine in other Office Programs (Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc.). However, when you go to print a document in Publisher, the only printers listed are the "Microsoft Office Document Image Writer" and the "Lanfax Printer". None of the physical printers are listed! I tried uninstalling and reinstalling all the printers. I also tried upgrading from Publisher XP to Publisher 2003, but the problem has persisted. I have googled this and searched Microsoft's knowledge base, but did not come up with anything....not even another person describing this problem! I have Office 2003 installed on my workstation, and all the printers show up within Publisher, so I don't think this is a driver issue. Short of reinstalling Windows, does anyone have any ideas???
