Blacked-out fonts
Hi folks, help me keep the rest of my hair.
Trying to create a PDF from a Publisher document, full of graphs and pie
charts. On two of the charts, the font comes out as black blocks once saved
to a PDF, though the others are ok.
Have tried changing fonts and reducing the length of the horizontal axis by
taking a few values out, but once saved to PDF again, the black blocks come
back. Just thopse two graphs. Don't know if it's significant that it happens
along the horizontal axis, but the fonts on the vertical axes of the others
seem fine.
Thank you SO much
Trudy

Designing Clip Art for the non-artist
Greetings all.....
This might be a little off topic, but hopefully someone will have the knowledge and / or
expertise to answer.
I'm in the entertainment field and there is a lack of ' off the rack' clip art. So it
seems the best thing to do is create what I need for business cards, brochures
and flyers.
At this point I'm clueless.... what software packages or recommendations do
you suggest for creating clip art.
I have camera's and can take pictures of related objects, but I'm not sure how to
convert them into simple clip art.
I can also trace objects that I'm interested in, and scan them in, but I haven't a clue
on how to color them professionally, outside of using a paint program.
I have both Adobe Creative Suite and Macromedia Fireworks 8....but they seem
to be overkill for what I'm trying to accomplish. They both have a learning curve....
and so far I've found that Fireworks is a difficult program to work with.
Any help for a newbie would be greatly appreciated... even a link to another
newsgroup or forum where the answer can be found.
Thanks in advance (again )

business card question - landscape on front - portrait on back - Publisher 2007
Greetings all....
Perhaps someone has done this before in Publisher 2007.
I am designing double sided business cards. Using an Avery Form 8871.
The front of the card is designed in landscape mode i.e. short side is pointing up
A new page has been started for the reverse side using the same template. This
page also shows in landscape mode. (short side pointing up)
How do I design this in portrait mode with the long side pointing up. All I'm looking
to do is just rotate the card so I enter the printing in portrait mode.
Using page layout, changes the publication format to a custom card instead
of Avery 8871. Rotation controls just deal with the object on the page.
How can one rotate the image on an existing template so that it can be
designed in portrait mode ??
Thanks in advance !!!

"Publisher cannot open the file" error. AHH!
I have a catalog I've been updating for publication at the end of Feb. I've
got many hours into the rehash. I last worked on it 1/24. I opened it
tonight... got the error of "Publisher cannot open the file". I ran error
recovery on reboot, I copied the file and tried to open the copy... all to no
avail. I had autorecovery turned on, but there is nothing I can find for any
sort of backup. I tried a couple recovery apps, but I don't care about the
text, I need the layout/images/text as a whole.
I had a hunch and noticed I did a Microsoft Update on the system the same
day. Anyone else have such a problem?

How is a picture directory created in Publisher 2003?
I am new to publisher and might have too many questions. I want to create a
picture directory. An acquaintance said that I may be able to do it in
publisher. It needs to be about 5 pictures across and 6 or 7 down with names
and phone numbers under the photos. I canâ??t find any templates. Are there
any? If there are not can I create my own? If I do will I be able to click
and drag photos into the publisher template from a folder on my desktop? If
I want to add/delete/insert a new picture will the others â??slideâ?? forward or
backward to accommodate an alphabetical addition/deletion or will the
template be â??staticâ???
Iâ??ve thot of downloading a free picture directory program but Iâ??d like to
stick with msft if possible because anyone that follows me will most likely
have it on their computer. One son has adobe 7 but the price is a little
steep for me. Thanks Tag: www.DATINGLOFT.com <<SEXY<< Tag: 174125

Links to Graphics / Tables in Excel & Powerpoint - Huge File Sizes
Hi all,
We are currently using Publisher 2003. If we create a publisher file with
links to Powerpoint presentation slides and excel spreadsheets (copy - paste
special), the file is massive.
We tried saving it as a 2000 format file, and it shaved off around 70 meg.
I downloaded Pubilsher 2007 and doing a 'Save As' knocked the file size down
to 61, I did a test earlier and from a 104 meg file it was down to 24 meg.
Is the large file size a problem with 2003?
Thanks,

question about printing
I am a rank newbie, having been given a Publisher 2000 disk and having

given to understand that Publisher will be more cooperative about this.
I fantasize that I can create two 11 x 17 pages (page 4 and page 1, and
page 2 and page 3), which I could not do in Word because Word figured
out that I don't have a printer which will accommodate 11 x 17 paper.
Will I be spared this annoyance in Publisher or shall I soldier on the
way I have done it for years? Any advice will be gratefully appreciated.

this removed for 2007 from earlier versions? It doesn't make sense since it
