Copying Publisher to Word

[rgordon(remove)]

In the old Publisher I could click on a Publisher page and drag until I had the whole page covered and copy this into a word document and the formatting stayed the same and looked like it did in Publisher. I tried doing this with Publisher 2002 and the formatting changes and some things ahve moved around so that it doesn't look very much like it did in Publisher.

Basically, I am doing a newsletter and we use Publisher and then copy or convert to a Word document so that we can use Acrobat Adobe to pdf the file.

Just wondering if there is an easy answer or what I am doing wrong. Thanks in advance.

I'm puzzled - why are you putting in an unnecessary intermediate step?! Any
file that can be printed can be converted to PDF, so wherever did you get
the absurd notion you had to copy everything to Word first, and that you
couldn't do the conversion directly from within Publisher?

You do not need to copy into Word to create a PDF. You do not need to use
the Word PlugIn to create a PDF. Simply print your publication to the
Acrobat Distiller printer.
You may need to set a couple more options, but that just gives you more
control.
