MS Publisher should troubleshoot document preview panel

[Henri]

I am using MS Publisher 2003. The previous post I made still needs an answer.
Or, is there one?

I have a two page document. Page one does not show up at all in print
preview. Page one has an RGB picture with print overlaid. Page 2 is just
text. It is the only one that shows up in print preview.

Send your file to me at jl dot paules at gmail dot com. Let me see if I get
the same result you get.

Hi Henri

This could be the same problem I am having. Have you tried printing the page
even though the picture is not showing on the monitor

Pictures and lines do not show on my monitor only text but it will print ok.

Everything worked ok on my old computer.

Lets hope we both get an answer.

Hi Roy,

Yes, it does print out ok. It is just disconcerting that you can't see the
print preview.

Hi JoAnn,
I sent you the file but it is 50 MB. I don't know if your mailbox will hold
it.

My Google mailbox can hold that. I just haven't seen it yet. Want to
try again?

A 50 meg file of basically one page??? (You said the second page is just
text!) What is on this page that is so large? I do 11x17 pages with
several full color images (200 dpi or so) that comes out at 3-4 megs
sometimes, but nothing close to 50 meg.

I wasn't able to send it. It was too large. I don't know why the file is so
big. Perhaps it is because of the graphic I used. At any rate, since it does
print, I'm no longer going to worry about it.

Thanks,

If you don't have it, get Service Pack 1 for Office 2003 from
http://office.microsoft.com/

Then open your document, select a picture. On the Picture toolbar, select
"Compress Pictures"
Select "All pictures in document", "Print", and make sure the bottom two
boxes are checked.
Click OK, Save, and see what size your document comes out now.

Thank you Ed,

That did the trick in more ways than one. It drastically reduced the size of
the file (91kb). AND, it also allowed the file to "Print Preview" both pages.

So, the graphic size was the problem in "Print Preview" not being able to
display that first page!

I subsequently opened the original file again and this time instead of
changing the resolution, I left the resolution unchanged and deleted the
cropped edges of the image, only. This produced the desired result too (1.4
mb)! I was able to Print Preview both pages AND retain a high resolution
printing of the document's image!

Bravo!!!

Many Thanks,
Henri Lamont

Out of curiosity, what was the resolution of the image?

Mike

 

[Henri]

Actually, I took a black and white 1 bit TIFF image and converted it to a 24
bit RGB TIFF color image.

I only used two colors. It was only 3.175" x 3.84917". The resolution was
1200 dpi x 1200 dpi. The image was 54,854,632 bytes.

I only cropped it to 2.0" x 3.5". When I saved just the image back out of
the MS Publisher doc. My Corel Paint program showed that the resolution did
change to 300 dpi x 300 dpi even though I set it to only crop. And the file
size of the image is 4,064,232 bytes.

But, that is still a better image than when I did tell it to change
resolution. Because MS Publisher 2003 seems to do a default 200 dpi
resolution when to check the "change resolution" "Print" gadget.

In view of this analysis it appears that there is a resolution limitation to
MS Publisher's ability to display in "Print Preview."

Go to Help > About and look for "SP1"

Use the booklet page setup if you are wanting one fold.
