    - Color/Grayscale Toggle Button Stuck When I am in 'print preview' in Publisher 2007, the color/grayscale button reacts like a toggle switch. However, the toggle switch/button is engaged to view in grayscale mode and will not disengage to view in color. When I press the toggle switch/button to disengage (even though it won't), and move the mouse to the document, I see the magnifiying glass, zoom in/out. Any suggestions on how to disengage the toggle switch? THanks. Tag: what does it mean "Publisher cannot create a temporary working fil Tag: 178603

    - using bullets Just trying to find out if I can or cannot do this in Publisher. There are only a few bullet characters available in publisher and I would like to have access to more. In word you simply got to format select bullets and then use the import button to add an unlimited number of bullets. It appears that you cannot do this with Publisher.

    - Another curvy question.... I've now discovered that I can get some cort of curvy linear arrows by using the Autoshape connectors, and this wouldn't be a problem apart from the fact that the curved connecting arrows default to an 'S' shaped curve, whereas I only want a simple arc. By manipulating the yellow adjustment handle I still don't seem to be able to get a proper arc shape - it just moves the unwanted bend in the curve. Any suggestions?

    - Paste Special drops cells from Word and Excell Our church is using Publisher 2003 to do our bulletin and newsletter. When we try and use Paste Special to paste the calendar from Word 2003, it drops the last row of cells bottom of calendar (they do not show up in Publisher). If we go back to Word 2003, new document, and paste, everything is there. The same thing happens when we try to Paste Special from Excel 2003. It drops the last column of the Excel sheet. Any suggestions on how to fix this? The calendar and Excel sheet are put together by another individual ( not the secretary) and emailed to the church office. The secretary also says that sometimes it will paste the whole clipboard. I do not have specifics on when this happens. I know the problem this time is with the August calendar which has 6 rows.

    - Comparing Versions Hi, I looked around the Microsoft Office Suite website a bit today, and I found a page that compared PREVIOUS versions against each other in sort of a table format. Here's the link : http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/FX102144881033.aspx I like this format, but I cannot find a page that includes 2007 in the mix.

This normally means you're saving to a network drive. Save to a local
hard drive, and then copy across to the network drive using Windows
Explorer.

Also, turn off Caps Lock. It's considered to be shouting and rude.

This article doesn't address Publisher 98, but the error is the same and maybe
the solution is the same too.
The error causes no harm and you can ignore it.
