    - create text box with Border Art using VB Hi, Publisher 2002/Office XP Can anyone tell me how to create a border round a text box (one of the built-in border art ones) while creating it from VB? The box is created thus (so far):- Set pubdoc = appPub.ActiveDocument.Pages(1) With pubdoc Set TextBox = .Shapes.AddTextbox _ (Orientation:=pbTextOrientationHorizontal, _ Left:=144, Top:=144, _ Width:=72, Height:=18) With TextBox .TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "some text" End With End With I created one in Publisher, then used VB to open the document and work through the Shapes collection to show me the styles etc, but I can't see anything that tells me what the Border Art style is set to. According to the help, the Line property "Returns a LineFormat object that contains line formatting properties for the specified shape. (For a line, the LineFormat object represents the line itself; for a shape with a border, the LineFormat object represents the border.)", but I can see no property in LineFormat that mentions Border Art, and no listing of any style names anywhere. (.Shape.Line.Style = 1 in both a text box with a border, and in one without, so doesn't seem to be the style property that sets it). Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

    - creating a book in Publisher I want to create an A5-sized book/booklet in Publisher. I might as well be shooting for the moon. The program's Help feature is unhelpful, and none of the dedicated Publisher books I have bought go near the topic, yet I'm sure it is possible. Will someone out there please put me out of my misery! All I want is a simple guide to creating a 48-page booklet. The first 4 pages will be one format/layout; the remaining pages will be another format/layout and would therefore benefit from using Master Pages. And I want to incorporate an index. Is that so hard? Microsoft seem to think so! Please point me in the right direction and save my sanity. Cheers -- Joe Tag: Why won't message appear in newsgroup Tag: 99494

In the box I see Black + the Pantone that I am using. However, in the area just below... "Colors to be used in Publication" are shown. Here I see in addition to my one Pantone + the Black; that Black also is shown as 50% tint of Black, and as 20% tint of Black.

    - Default Tab Stops change in Pub 2002 I just finished my first newsletter using Publisher. I was using a tab stop setting of .12 instead of .5. For some reason I haven't been able to pin down, the default would get reset to .5 with the result of text at the end of my text boxes getting pushed off the bottom. Resetting the tab stop to .12 would fix everything until the next time Publisher decided I really meant .5! Any clues about why this is happening would be much appreciated.

    - Publisher 2002 and Brother 1850 I just upgraded to Pub 2002 on XP and have encountered the same printing problem with a Brother 1850 that other posters have noted. The printer accepts the job, then notes a paper size error. So far, everything has printed correctly by simply pressing the "GO" button on the printer. It's a pain, but it works. Has anyone found a better solution? I am using the latest PCL driver from Brother, and the Microsoft Knowledge base hasn't provided any help. I see that some users have had success using Brother's PS emulation driver, but I'd prefer to stick with the PCL. Thanks for any help or info. Tag: Why won't message appear in newsgroup Tag: 99385

Now when we open up a Publisher 1998 saved document on our Publisher 2002 program it messes up the lines and format of the 1998 format. It would take way to long to fix all of this mess. There has to be a way to get 2002 to not mess up the formating of 1998 documents. Can anyone help me with this? We do have Norton's Antivirus protection on our computers. Thanks for your help.
