linking a lot of pages

[Marsha]

I searched the questions, but need advice.

Background: putting together a cookbook with about 475 recipies divided into
8 sections.

My question:
How can I link a large, unknown quantity of pages so I can drop each section
in from Word? I've added a large number of pages in bookform, and asked
Publisher to create my text boxes. Please keep in mind I have no formal
training in Publisher. Thanks so much.

Are the single recipes going to fit on one page? Are you going to copy all the
recipes at once or a section at a time? Are you planning a booklet setup?

Create a booklet in page setup with just four pages. Create a text box on the
first page of your cook book. Right-click the text box, click change text, click
text file, browse to your recipe file. Publisher will create text boxes and
pages automatically. Ideally you will have 8 separate sections in Word.

There is the copy/paste method, best to use paste special, here again Publisher
will create text boxes and pages automatically.

Mary,
I'm sorry I've been so busy and have not yet read your reply.

Booklet, landscape, 8.5 x 11. I do have the recipes in 8 sections. When
doing a practice copy and paste I noticed Publisher changed my font size from
a 12 to 10 on parts of each section, but not all. I have the recipes set-up
in Word. I have approximately 450 recipes.

Please accept my humble thanks for all the help you and others have given me
with this project as well as others. I can't say enough good things about the
good-hearted people here.

I just tried your first set of instructions using the right-click method.
PERFECT!
