Import text file from MS Word into MS Publisher.

[cgrandy]

I have created a text file in Word and a photo file in Publisher and would
like to merge the two. When I imported Word, it seemed to be totally
separate from the Publisher document - 7 pages of Word and 8 pages of photos.

I want the Word pages to precede the Publisher pages.

How is this done?

If you want the images to be surrounded by text, you should
create text boxes on each page of the Publisher document.
Choose Order> Send to back for each text box. Then open the
Word document, select all text (Ctrl+A) and copy (Ctrl+C)
then back to the Publisher document and click in the first
text box and paste (Ctrl+V). (I personally would paste into
a blank Notepad document to remove all formatting, copy
again from Notepad and paste into Publisher) You will get a
warning stating that the text won't fit and do you want
Publisher to automotically overflow to the next text boxes.
Reply yes. Then "play" with the results, making adjustments
in appearance as you like.

If you have existing text boxes, use the Insert > Text File feature.
