    Hello Aldo Raine Sorry again I have had delay as I went on overseas holiday with my family for 3 weeks on the day that you sent your reply and this is the first time I have checked back here since. So anyway even though you may have already figured a solution I will outline what I think you...

    Programmatically create formatted text ?

    Hi Soberhill I read your question and I think that there is most probably a way to achieve what you are wanting to do. I am thinking that you may be able to do this by posting the text into a preformatted table using mail merge but there are some questions that I would have for your particular...

    Hi Aldo Raine Did you ever resolve this issue. Sorry about the late reply but I have not checked back to this site for a while but I have duplicated what you are doing and I think that this is a relatively easy fix unless you have already sorted it or use a work around. Anyway let me know if...

    when i save as a pdf i get lines around my images

    Hi snunicycler I checked you image and can see what you mean about the corners. I cant duplicate this and check it through but I think that the resolution for this will be to edit wrap points of the border of the image. I have pulled some of the text below on how to do this from a previous...

Part of the challenge of answering a question like this is knowing exactly the operation so feel free to come back if you still have a problem or none of the suggestions work for your situation.

    How to link data boxes, to individual publisher page text boxes??

    Hi Brante I have set up a large number of labels in Publisher for the manufacturing operation that I oversee. I also have a set of labels for lot numbering some of the raw materials that come into the plant and these number sequences have to be changed continually so I have set up a number of...

    Print Tiling & Sheet Size

    Hi PaulaKate I think you can most probably sort out the unwanted tiling issue that you are getting via the Print Set-up options menu, File > Print set-up > Publication and Paper Setting tab. In the More print options area should be a Print a single tile check box which you should check and then...

    Publisher to PDF - colored text saves as gray

    Hi SARAHatFLFC To create the pdf are you doing this via Publisher's own 'Save As...', using Paper Port or another pdf writer utility ? Also if you want, post a sample pdf file attachment so I can have a look and try to see what is happening. Regards Makonz

    typing problems

    Hi Bearabull If you want a consistent look for your fonts in your different publications then most probably the best way to do this is using the Font Schemes tool in the Format Publication task pane. If the task pane, ( which in Publisher 2007 is usually located on the Left hand side of the...

    Auto arrange publication

    Hi alanwmc I most probably need a little more information about what specifically you are looking to achieve but I think what you are looking for is the Connected Text Boxes tool. This allows text to "flow" from one text box to another and so on with the text boxes placed to suit the style and...

    Distorted Pictures when printed

    Hi estherb If your Print Preview is showing a good representation of the page then it sounds like there is an issue between the program and the printer. One possible way around that is to do a test save of the publication as a pdf file (or part of it, such as a page that you have had issues...

    Does MS PUBLISHER have a lasso tool ?

    Hi johnclevett Publisher doesn't have a lasso tool like Photoshop but there are most probably a couple of ways to do this depending on the colouring of your logo. If you have a logo that is round with a white outer background then you could use the 'Set Transparent Colour' tool ( on the...

    Need base color of image modified

    Hi Bwerba I am surprised that your action didnt work although possibly you just needed to change the web colour to an RGB colour which to get the equivalent settings you go to a site like http://www.color-hex.com which will tell you that for colour 2e6123 they are 46 (red), 97 (green) and 35...

    trouble with color fill

    Hi paddy12, You may have to provide a little bit more detail if someone is to help you. Better still would be post a screen shot. Would like to assist if possible but what you have posted does not give enough of an idea of what the exact issue is and what the cause could be. Cheers Makonz

    Setting up Master Page Numbers

    Hi wtmkitty I am guessing that you have already set up the numbering for your publication via the Master page Menu. If you specifically want to start from 209 then you will need to do this while back in publication view with the page selected that you want to start numbering from, go to the...

    Is there a way to make the guides come to the front?

    Hi there Hawthorne, Thanks for the feedback. I never worked with PageMaker or InDesign so I suppose I didn't have to 'relearn' Publishers ways of doing things. For me it was MS Word or MS Publisher and compared to trying to work with Word, Publisher is a breeze ! It's like anything I guess...

    Is there a way to make the guides come to the front?

    Hi Hawthorne, The quick answer to your question is that no you cant make the page guides 'come-to-the-front' as you can an object that is placed on the page. I am not familiar with InDesign but I think that there a couple of ways to align what you are wanting to place in exactly the position...
