How do I copy a flyer in MS Publisher to a disk?

[vegastulip]

I am trying to copy a flyer in Publisher to a disk. My print quality is not
the best and I am wanting to take the disk somewhere like Kinkos to have
copies made. Any ideas? Thanks!!

If the file is smaller than 1.38mb, drag and drop it to a freshly formatted
diskette.. remember, FRESHLY formatted..

Anything larger will have to be saved to a CD, in which case you will have
to use proprietary CD writing software.. check with Kinko's re. the format
they can read..

If you have a CD burner, presumably you also have CD burning software like
Nero or Roxio Easy CD..

Do not just save it to the disk. Save it locally and then copy it over to
the disk. I would then make sure it can be opened from the disk. (I know
that not everyone does this but I'm a skeptic.)

Mike -

I'm curious. Why stress "newly formatted"?

If you have just performed a full format (not a quick format) on a disk,
then it will have found any bad sectors and marked them as such, so you will
be less likely to corrupt the file before you remove the disk from the
drive.

It's amazing the way some people I know treat floppy disks - especially with
regards to relying on them for the SOLE COPY of a vital piece of coursework,
and use them far past their sell by date (when the metal tag is missing,
etc.)

And remember that COPYING to the disk is not done with the Save As command.

It involves opening the folder containing the file(s), right-clicking > Send
To > 3½ Floppy (A).

XP is rather harsh on equipment that is not up to par, and many have
problems with diskettes.. there is a better chance of the data being of use
if one first determines that the diskette is a good one.. if the format
process is slow, or jittery (you can hear the format process), then throw
away the diskette and try another..

There is little worse than saving a file to diskette, and then finding that
it is borderline junk when miles from its origination point.. i.e. you have
to go back home and get another copy..

As you have probably guessed, I always format the pesky things before saving
to them.. I have had too many failures in the past..

My diskettes are all local.. I reach over and hey presto, a neat pile..
to be honest, I didn't think about saying that, as most people don't have
the first clue how to change the default 'save' folder..

I don't know if that's something you want to admit to publicly.

Eh...Floppy is to small. It's all about the Hard Disk.

I tend to burn a CD of the file. Not much difference in costs and they
are a lot more reliable. Can't reformat those things and get more milage
but that's not a problem.

I would use a CD if the file is too large for a diskette, or if the
recipient doesn't have a diskette drive..

I was born in a country that was still suffering the curse of rationing
after WWII, when Carrot cake was made entirely from carrots and a banana was
a 'food of the future'.. you can't imagine my surprise when I found out that
real milk started out as a liquid, and eggs came in shells.. we wasted
nothing, hence my desire not to use up an entire CD-R for one small file..


As for the cheapskates who can't afford a computer fitted with a diskette
drive, Brian (pax pax pax), was the 4gb of memory really worth giving up
such a useful device?.. .. Brian, I apologise if you have an IBM
ThinkPad 700, the type with the 'butterfly' keyboard and double-wide attaché
case that carries all of the bits that wouldn't fit into the miniscule
laptop shell..

JoAnn, thinking about the halcyon days in the aftermath of WWII, I have an
idea for a template.. you may have watched British films of the era 1939-45
where automobile headlights were fitted with a mask to restrict light output
(put those bloody lights out).. do you know where I could get one and, in
your esteemed opinion, is Publisher the best program to use for this.. the
template would be an excellent Halloween trick, and it could also be used by
'illicit' lovers wishing to signal arrival at the parking lot in a more
discreet manner than that afforded by main lights..

Multisession CD-Rs or CD-RWs?
