Some folks had success by creating/repairing their profiles.
Early on there was a poster who shared his Microsoft technical phone call
concerning the sorter problem, this is his post:
Backup your registry before doing this fix.
1. If you're using Windows Vista, Click on the start button, and type
"regedit" into the "Search" field under the "All Programs" link. If you're
using XP or earlier versions, click on the start button, then on "Run," then
type "regedit" into the field, then click "O.K."
2. When the registry window opens, your going to next make a quick back-up
of these files before you attempt to change anything (in-case that
detrimental mistake we discussed earlier is accidentally made). This you're
going to do by:
a. Clicking on "File"
b. Then on "Export"
c. Then on "Desktop" in the left-hand task pane
d. Then by typing "Backup" in the "File Name" field
e. Then clicking on "Save"
3. Now that that's out of the way, your going to start at the top of the
Registry window and look down till you find the branch "HKEY_CURRENT_USER"
Click on it, and a new sub menu will appear.
4. When the new sub menu appears, go down and click on "Software." Again, a
new sub menu will appear.
5. Next, click on "Microsoft," then on "Office," then on "12.0" This will
bring you to the place where you can choose the specific Office program
you're having issues with and fix the program-specific issue.
6. Next, click on "Publisher," then on "Preferences"
7. If you don't see a "ShowStatusBar" string, you'll need to create one by
following the steps below. Otherwise, move on to step #8.
a. To create a "ShowStatusBar" string, start by right-clicking on the
right pane
of the window and choosing, "New"
b. Then click on "String Value" It will create a new string called
"New Value #1"
c. Rename the new value string "ShowStatusBar" and it will create the
"ShowStatusBar" string.
d. Now move on to step #8.
8. Right-click on the "ShowStatusBar" string, then click on "Modify"
9. When the "Edit String" window opens, simply change the value data to "1"
(if you're like me, the value data was probably set at "0"). Once you've
changed the value data to "1" then click "O.K."
10. Exit from all registry related windows and launch your version of
Microsoft Office Publisher 2007. You should see the page sorter in the lower
left-hand corner of your Publisher screen right where it always should have
been.
And that's it. Like I said, worked like a charm for me! But if this does
not work for you, please take a moment to contact Microsoft Office tech
support directly, because that means that you have another issue altogether.
Thanks gang! May this small piece of advice help any and all the rest of us
who cannot find the Page sorter in Publisher 2007!
