    - Lockup when inserting pictures I am having an issue where any microsoft office program locks up when i try to inert a picture from file. I was trying to insert a jpeg logo into a Publisher newsletter and the whole program locks up either, before I can browse to the correct folder or upon clicking the jpeg. I am getting the same action in word, excel and powerpoint. Thanks for any insight you can provide. Scott Tag: How to unlock file with microsoft publisher as it has been locked Tag: 169402

    - Publisher 2002 boarderless printing I am trying to print a page with a colored background, and I keep getting a boarder around the edge or top of the page, where nothing prints. I have tried this using 3 diferent printers with the same results, so I know it is a seting within Publisher. The page looks fine, but when I print, there is a border around it. I am using my "boarderless settings" on the printer. Tag: How to unlock file with microsoft publisher as it has been locked Tag: 169399

    - Images Inline like Word so they move with text Hi, I just started using Publisher and I'm trying to replicate something I can do easily in Word. I want to insert a picture within a numbered list, say after step 3. I don't want any text to the left or right of the image. However, if step 3 changes and the text gets longer, I want the picture to know to move itself down and still follow its place in line -- right after step 3. This is what I can't figure out how to do -- the picture just stays put and I have to move it manually. The Inline feature in the Format Object window doesn't seem to do quite the same thing as in Word. Hoping I'm missing something really simple. Thanks for any help.

    - Labels I am using Avery 5971 Labels. I don't want to set up a Mail merge - I want to be able to view all 30 labels so that I can make changes right on the label as I wish, rather than from a mail merge list. This used to be easy... the WHOLE page of 30 came up and I could type whatever I wanted into each label space provided. Now - it's like even if I wanted to make labels for canisters, I'd have to set them up in a mail merge list first, insert fields into the label and the merge... that's a lot more work than just typing each name onto the labels. Is there a way to view and manipulate all of the labels at once instead of doing it the way they now have it? Tag: How to unlock file with microsoft publisher as it has been locked Tag: 169310

Another issue is that I have asked it not to show the header and footer on the first page and it doesn't on screen but it does show the footer in print preview and prints the footer. So, what I'm asking is how do we get the blank pages out of the middle and the footer off of the cover? -- Thanks Paul Tag: How to unlock file with microsoft publisher as it has been locked Tag: 169216

Publisher is not lockable.
Are you talking about a website created/maintained with FrontPage perhaps?

If so: you need to get the un/pw login from the host.

If not...please explain the problem in more detail. Are you using FP or
Publisher? (there's a big difference between FP & Pub)
