All kinds of problems

[Michele]

Using P2003, [Iused to use P2000]. I print a 16 to 22 page 4-H newsletter which contains a monthly calendar(taking up one whole page) that I like to isolate and do two things with. In the past I would hit select all for the page I wanted to isolate, and then copy and paste either into a Word document, or as a separate Publisher document. With 2000 I had no difficulty doing either. With 2003, when I try to copy the calendar onto a single Publisher page, it looses all the formats...the font does not copy over nor do the colors. The calendar is filled with various text boxes and images(it is a monthly 4-H calendar for parents, etc...) Very few people have Publisher at their homes, so I used to just select all>copy> and paste into a Word document. It would look like an image into word with handles around it...but it worked fine and everything copied over. I cant do that anymore...it is all gobbledygook. If I use the "save as" option and save as a Word 97-2003 it does not copy over the way it looks in Publisher. I do use the option in email to send the "page as a message" but many people report they are unable to read it or it cuts off, etc. Other pages of the newsletter I want to isolate such as sign up sheets and entry forms so they can be posted on the web. To send that to my IT person, I have to isolate it...using the same procedure as above..."Select All">Copy> Open a new Pub Doc> and paste it in. The font styles and colors always switch over into something else not original. There has to be an easier way.

All of this was done with relative ease with Publisher 2000 and is very troublesome using Publisher 2003

Why don't you either install Acrobat or a piece of PDF software on your
computer and do the conversion, or install Publisher onto the PC that has
the PDF software?

Isolating pages so that they can be readable and sendable in Word for
email purposes.

Why don't you use PDF? Word files are *not* a good format for sending other
filetypes through email.

You are correct you cannot copy and paste like you used to.

Use PDF to send to others.

Michele that is an Adobe issue, not a Publisher issue.

What happens if you just go in Publisher with your document open, and then
go menu File > Print > Adobe PDF
