Page Numbers

[colmangy]

I designed a 4 page newsletter with page numbers. When I copy and paste it
into word the page numbers were changed to pg1 on all pages with no way to
change them back. I would appreciate feedback. (Win2000, Office 2000,)
Thanks Dennis

You are right... That happens. Why take a well designed Publisher newsletter
and try to paste it into a word processor. The formatting will never work.
If you are after a document that others can view, convert it to a PDF. You
don't have Adobe Acrobat (not the Reader)? Try one of these:
http://www.win2pdf.com or http://www.primopdf.com They both install as a
printer driver.

Well thanks for the quick responce. I have not been able to make the
newsletter a pdf without putting it into word, then creating a pdf. I do have
adobe maker. The newsletter does come out perfect as it was made in
publisher. However, I stll need an answer to the page number problem. Is it
best just to forget the page numbers?
Thanks, Dennis

You are experiencing a very common problem among Adobe Acrobat users (the
product is called Adobe Acrobat (either Standard or Professional), NOT Adobe
Maker).

Adobe PDFMaker is the name of the add-in used in Word and PowerPoint (and in
Acrobat 7, Publisher), to interface with Acrobat and make the process of
making a PDF easier.

You do NOT, however, need to convert a file to word in order to convert it
to a PDF.
All you need to do is go to File > Print, and select Adobe PDF or Acrobat
Distiller.
In Publisher you will also need to enable sending fonts to Acrobat. Post
back if you need instructions on how to do this.
