    - WordArt from Publisher 2000 file ti Publisher 2003 I have two files created in Publisher 2000 - when opened in Publisher 2003 the size of the WordArt is totall skewed - most much larger than in the original document. This is the second document this has happened on - is there something I'm missing? I thought I could go from 2000 to 2003, just not the other way around?

    - Saving Pages I am new to Publisher and was wondering if a person has saved 12 pages of a book they are working on - is it possible to pull out one of those pages to e-mail to someone for editing and then also re-insert it when returned without having to send the entire 12 pages each time? Is there some way to save invidivual pages to different locations? I am using Publisher 2000 Sp-3, thank you for an info you may be able to give. I did try copy and paste but the graphics did not copy/paste over. The graphics used where from the Publisher CD. Tag: Why won't my Publisher documents print in draft mode? Tag: 125386

    - Creating links in an e-newsletter I am creating an e-newsletter in Publisher 2003. How do I create links (anchors) to various sections in my newsletter? For example, I have a menu of topics that I would like to be able to link to different sections in the document: (by clicking on "Tips From The Chef" in the menu, the page should automatically scroll to that section of the newsletter.) It needs to operate similarly to a web page with links. How do I do this without adding additional pages? My newsletter will need to be printed as well and I would like for it to print onto one or two pages max. Tag: Why won't my Publisher documents print in draft mode? Tag: 125383

    - Help needed with calendar Spent a lot of time doing a calendar last year, lots of custom backgrounds and photos. The only thing I didn't change was the date tables. Went to update it for 2005, but when I select 'change date range' and choose 2005 months, the whole thing reverts back to the original blank calandar! Is there a way to just change the dates, other than manually overtyping every day and date? TIA, fingers crossed. Tag: Why won't my Publisher documents print in draft mode? Tag: 125375

    - Need several text box templates Hi, Am making a catalog over 80 pages. I love this program. My concern is with text boxes. I have a general text box template that is used for each new page. Works fine. But within that page is another text box or several that is filled in with color for emphasis. Not used on all pages but is a "subcategory" text box. Used as needed. I need to change the color and realize there is no way to make an acros-the-board-change. Or is there? So the first question is: 1) Can I change the format (fill-in) text boxes that are inside a text box all at once? 2) Can I make a template for a subcategory of text boxes that. In other words can i have a textbox template#1, textbox template #2, etc? Thanks! Regards, -- Curtis Tag: Why won't my Publisher documents print in draft mode? Tag: 125365

    - Printing Double-Sided Greeting Cards in Landscape Hi there, I am using Publisher 2003. I have created a 4-page card which I intend to print on to a landscape greeting card. In other words 2 pages per side of page (8.5 x 11). Anyway, I am having a problem in that the pages are appearing in the wrong sequence. I have set my printer (HP DeskJet 5650) to print double-sided, but still page 4 is printing where page 2 should be. Page 1 is the cover. Page 2 is the inside left page. Page 3 is the inside right. Page 4 is the rear outside page. I want it so that Pages 1 and 4 are on one side, pages 2 and 3 on the opposite side of the sheet of paper. Currently, Pages 1 and 2 are printing on one side, with pages 3 and 4 on the 2nd side. Problem is that page 2 (which is actually page 4, rear) is upside-down. Page 4 is the correct way up, but is printing in place of page 2. Hope this is clear enough. I have the document set as a Folded Card, Tent. Is there any way I can correct this? I don't want to have to move all the pages around if it can be avoided. I would have to do that for every publication. Using Windows XP Pro SP2. All updates applied for Windows and Office Pro 2003. Hoping you can help me on this perplexing problem. Thank you! Lynn Tag: Why won't my Publisher documents print in draft mode? Tag: 125357

    - Publishing program??? Dear Forum, I have been typing up a newsletter for my local 4x4 club for the past 6 months. I've been printing this very basic newsletter on A4 up to now. The newsletter comprises text and pictures with a score sheet done on MS Works Spreadsheet inserted onto the last page. To cut the cost of printing i would like to convert this newsletter into booklet form (A4 folded to A5). I'd like to continue to create the newsletter on Word as i have been but have a program that would make all the conversions for me i.e. from numbered A4 pages to numbered A5 (A4 folded) and have all the pages in order ready to print. Is there such a program? Any ideas? Best regards, Jules. -- H4WDC Editor Tag: Why won't my Publisher documents print in draft mode? Tag: 125340

FWIW, Microsoft is aware that newsgroup postings are coming in with subject lines filled out only. Since they are aware of the problem and they are working on the problem as we speak, I guess we should do what we can to educate them while trying to answer there post at the same time. At least until Microsoft addresses the issue (i think they are going to make the body of the message a required field before posting as well as a better explanation).We could probably come up with a smalled canned sentence that explains to them how to use the web based news properly and having that inserted after your helpful reply (that is, if the subject line is detailed enough). And instead of telling new and lazy users to RTFM or *read the f&*king manual*, we could just mention to them to have a look in their help for Publisher. -- Brian Kvalheim Microsoft Publisher MVP http://www.publishermvps.com ~pay it forward~ This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

I set my printer preferences to print in Draft mode. I'm using a document
that has simply words and one clip art graphic. The preference commands all
"stick." Yet my printer prints some documents in draft but the majority in
normal. Also, if I ask the system to print more than 2 copies of the
document in draft mode, it thinks there is a paper jam after the second copy.
Why? How can I correct this to print multiple copies in deraft mode without
having to sit by the printer and watch each page roll out?

Might ask this at the printer manufacturer's web site. Look for an updated driver.
Publisher has no issues with the way you setup your printer.
