INSERT TEXTFILE Leading to odd results

[Alcide]

Hello All,

I am very new at Publisher. I am testing a template that I designed which is
a two-sided one-sheet brochure where each side contains three text boxes that
I inserted. Each text box is of equal size and I have the overflow links set.

Now, when I go to INSERT|TEXTFILE and point to a MS WORD 2003 file that is
six pages it all flows into the text boxes, which is fine. The problem is
that the formatting within the WORD doc is not preserved. Specifically, I
have paragraphs with borders that are squished-up in the PUBLISHER image.
Each paragraph is treated as a seperate table, which may make sense, but even
when I expand the paragraph's box size the text doesn't show up.

Any similar experiences with this? Any solutions?

Thank you in advance for your feedback
