I went to the View dropdown, but see no "Status" selection, nor do I see
anything in the lower left. What am I missing (Publisher 2007). Thank you.
This is a profile-related problem. If the following text (posted here by
another user from their conversation with MS Support) doesn't help, then
try creating a new user account.
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!
