    - Publisher 2003 I am working on a 50+ page document in Publisher 2003, which I imported from Word. Suddenly, pages that were previously consecutive are "jumping" when I scroll through the document, jumping from page 19 to 33, etc. The text box links at the bottom of each page are working. I've tried cutting and pasting into a new document in case this one is corrupt, but with no success. I'd hate to have to start again, because I don't know what I could do differently, but this document is useless the way it is. Any ideas? Thanks. - Eldeem Tag: One I type in one box in Publisher, it changes copy in another Tag: 152423

    - No page numbers on 1st two pages in new section I found reference to someone else with this problem in the following message thread: http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.publisher/browse_frm/thread/d322f46ccead1140/2a8729727b539b99?q=page+numbers+section&rnum=2#2a8729727b539b99 Unfortunately, I am having the same problem and I'm not sure how to work around it. I have a fairly long document (50+ pages) with several sections, and I need this to be fairly user-friendly for my non-graphic-designer salespeople. So, manually entering the page numbers after the section splits is NOT an option. Any recommendations? I'm using Publisher 2003. TIA!

    - Styles change by themselves in publisher When I delete unwanted Styles from Publisher 2003, they reappear next time I open the document. Styles I create change themselves - different fonts, sizes and paragraph spacings. This is driving me nuts and wasting hours of time. I can't find anything in Help! Why does this happen and how do I lock in styles to a particular document? Tag: One I type in one box in Publisher, it changes copy in another Tag: 152417

    - TIFF file with alpha channel mask does not convert well to PDF Hi, I have the following problem and wondered if anyone else has come across it. Software involved is Publisher 2003, PSP 9, Trial of Acrobat Professional 7.0 and DeskPDF. (PDF settings use Postscript Level 3.) I have a simple graphic of an arrow. I created a mask for the arrow in PSP. The mask blanks out everything but the shape of the arrow and puts a fade on the tail end of the arrow so that it just melts away. This mask was saved to an alpha channel and the resultant file saved as a TIF and PNG. When both copies of the file are inserted into Publisher, everything is as it should be. The arrow shape sits on the foreground and the tail fades into the background. When I go to produce the PDF through the print option, both Acrobat and DeskPDF produce a file where the fade portion of the arrow is chopped off suddenly. The rest of the mask works; there's no white background to the arrow shape. It's just that the fade is brought to a sudden halt and not let to gradually blend in with the background. One interesting thing to note is that Acrobat 7.0 now puts a toolbar in every Office application that allows you to do a one click conversion to PDF. This process appears to be different to the Print option. Under this conversion method the PNG graphic appears in the PDF as it appears in Publisher with a lovely blend into the background. I'd appreciate your comments. Regards, Dominic Tag: One I type in one box in Publisher, it changes copy in another Tag: 152416

    - Field Concatenation I am working on a catalog merge to create postcards. The first, last, and middle names are in three separate fields. In Crystal and Access, I can easily create the formula to combine them into one string with only one space in between. The merge will be 2-sided (data on both sides). The format is a postcard...4 per page. Will the data merge correctly so the front and back match? Are these things possible in Publisher 2003?

    - Publisher 2000 Calendar Problems Hello: My question/dilema is this: I used the "wizard" to create a calendar. Then when the calendar was open I changed, colors, positions of company logo, info, clip art, etc. It came out very nice (by the way). Okay, in preparation for 2007, I want to just simple change the start/finish dates to 2007. When I do this with the good ol' wizard, it changes...BUT it resets the entire design back to the original calendar template that the wizard offers (not my design changes.) So I tried this next: Opened the calendar, hit File/Save As and saved it as a "template" in Publisher. Then I opened that template file, showed wizard, tried to change the start/end year...and BOOM...again it changed the entire "design" BACK to the wizard's original color/design scheme. What am I doing wrong and what can I try? (thank you all very much for your time, and attention) -- km Tag: One I type in one box in Publisher, it changes copy in another Tag: 152378

    - Annual Report Layout Howdy, I've been tasked to layout my NGOs Annual Report. I only need to create something that can be given to a paid designer for finalization and publication. However, I'll have to sell my concept to my peers (in this office and in others) so I need something like a sharp story board. What I think I need is layout program like Quark, but we don't have a license. I was surprised when I couldn't find any Annual Report templates or discussions in the Publisher forum. I am VERY new to publisher, so perhaps the reason will be obvious to this community. Any advice?

    - Trying to get covers right for a POD Here is something I got from their tech support: "I do not know the specific problem in your case, but first you must understand that MS Publisher will not export your file at the proper resolution of 300dpi, which means your cover is probably coming out undersized. In addition, your cover file PDF, since it is being exported from MS Publisher, will have layers. The PDF cover section cannot handle layered files, and when it encounters one, it gives an erroneous "wrong size" message." "Most likely you are running up against both of these problems. Covers are meant to be images, and they are best created in image editing software. MS Publisher is meant to create documents, and converting a document to an image is always a troublesome proposition." -- -- Robert Pearson ParaMind Brainstorming Software http://www.paramind.net Creative Virtue Press/Telical Books/Regenerative Music http://www.rspearson.com Tag: One I type in one box in Publisher, it changes copy in another Tag: 152331

    - Right and Left side pages in 2 page view with sections I'm building a workbook, I want a cover page (right side orientation) an inside cover page (right side orientation) and then I want to begin the content with an introduction page also with right side orientation. I am using the 2-page view to lay out the pages for 3-hole punch, so the master page margins & guides & page numbering is set up for that. I've tried re-doing sections in 1-page view and in 2-page view to try to force the new sections to start on the right-hand page like the beginning of the document will do, but I can't figure out how to make the sections do that as well without inserting a blank page to substitute for the left-side page... and of course, when I do that, the page numbering starts with 2 on the page I want to be 1 even when I ignore master on the blank left side page.

    - Publisher poster page selection I just made a poster that requires (12 sheets) 11"/8.5" paper. I messed up and I had to reprint a certain part of it. Luckily it was on the last row of tiles and I could print from the last page starting off. After reprinting I had to cancel the print to make it stop printing because I am just completely draining my ink and it's not worth reprint the whole thing. I cut it off a tile early and so I had to go and repint again cutting it off after the 8th tile. On my second reprint my printer stopped using the cyan pigmant and was just magenta and yellows for the 8th and 9th tiles...the ones I needed. I checked the help and trouble shooting and it went into an elaborate scheme to make a freaking page selection. It isn't even a page selection it is recreating what part of the poster I want to print as the whole poster using the horizontal and vertical rulers tool. This is absolutely rediculous since i would have to measure in exactness where to drag the ruler guide to select what part I would like to reprint. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

It sounds like you've locked three text boxes together or you have only one
text box covering the three panels.

Unlock the three text boxes or make three text boxes, one for each panel.
