Pls help - Best graphics format for high quality brochure

[VB Programmer]

I'm making a high quality glossy brochure using Publisher.

I created a very nice graphic in Photoshop that I want to use as the
background for each Publisher page. When I import the file the graphic
degrades somewhat. What is the BEST format to use when going from Photoshop
to Publisher? Any suggestions as to how I should do this?

Also, any way to smooth fonts in Publisher (I think it's called aliasing?)?
Thanks.

FYI: In Photoshop I made the graphic twice as big as I would need, 17inches
x22 inches.

Thanks!

A 300dpi PNG file is the way to go.

Anti-aliasing is what you mean.
Publisher cannot antialias when exporting to an image.
Whether it antialiases when printing to PDF is down to the PDF driver you
use.
