Publisher 2002 Newsletter

[Janet]

I have been using Publisher to put out my newsletter for
over ten years, and I have never had this problem
before. I have the Echo format this time, I almost
always insert two pages after page 3, and I did it this
time as well. I finished the newsletter and printed it
out. I noticed that the top headlines on pages 4 and 5
(the pages I added) did not print. I have tried moving
the whole page down, I have tried replacing the text
boxes that contain the headlines, I even tried to copy
those pages to Publisher98, which it will not do. Unless
I can get this straightened out, I'll have to go back to
using Publish98 to do my newsletter, I already had to go
back to using it for my web pages because Publisher 2002
does not have all of the capabilities of Publisher98.

I am a former programmer/analyst. It is hard for me to
understand that discrepancies of this nature are put into
production. If I had done sloppy work like this when I
was working, they would have gotten rid of me pronto.
Oh, I forgot, I am a woman so they could always blame my
shortcomings on that, if men do it, it of course will be
overlooked because men can do no wrong. Meow. Sorry,
but I'm getting sort of pissed off because I am spending
entirely too much time debugging Microsoft's shortcomings.

Well, glad you realise men are perfect and women are such a major flawed
device.

Janet, I can assure you, the issue you describe is unknown, in any version
of Publisher.

I would suggest you have a corrupt file to cause this type of issue.

If you have used this same file for a while, and you have added and deleted
photographs etc. from this file along the way, because of a major bug that
was not fixed, it would not surprise me if it was corrupt. However, in
saying that, file corruption is not a common problem.

The short coming might be your patience then.

1. You MAY have a corrupt publication, as David mentions.
2. The Microsoft Publisher 2002 SP2 patch addresses some HTML issues.
3. What features in Publisher 98 are you seeing that are missing in
Publisher 2002?
4. Have you tried creating a new publication with the same setup to see if
the pages don't print out properly?
5. Are you aware that printer drivers are most likely in the need of
updating when moving from Microsoft Publisher 98 to Microsoft Publisher
2002?
6. What shortcomings are you speaking of?

In Publisher98, I could change the names on pages in a
web site, I cannot in Publisher 2002. I did keep trying
to find out how to do it, finally was told by a MVP that
Microsoft decided to make Publisher and Word (I think
that was the package, might have been something else)
have the same capabilities so for some reason, and
instead of upgrading Word, it downgraded Publisher. I
was devistated, because two of my web sites use this
extensively to put several modules on the same web site.
If you are wondering about this, look at
http://www.washrag.org. I have at least four different
modules (each starts with "index" for the first page),
had to go into the html files and change img file names
and also rename the img files themselves to do this.
Without being able to do this, I would have huge web
sites to maintain. I think I used it on
http://www.tesseractpublications.com to a lesser degree.

I have no way of knowing if the publication is corrupt.
I did not get any message from the printer or the
computer that there was any problem with the newsletter.
It looks fine in the print preview, but does not print
off correctly even if I print from the print preview. I
may try to recreate the newsletter before I just copy the
text to a publisher98 newsletter. I will try to remember
to e-mail you the newsletter, maybe you can see if you
can print it off -- pages 4 and 5 are the only two that
won't print.

I do not know of any way to find out if the file is
corrupt, I did not get any message from either the
printer or the computer when it was printing it.

At least we agree on the prisoners in Cuba. If we can't
be better than Hussein, we ought to keep our mouths shut
about how we are going to export our government to those
poor people in Iraq.

If I think about it, I will try to e-mail you the
newsletter to see if you can print off pages 4 and 5
without any problem. At least, that would tell me if it
is a problem with the file or with the printer/driver.

If it is only pages 4 and 5 that is causing the issue, the file is
definitely corrupt.

That is what happens, one or two pages will be an issue.

Normally it will be caused by WordArt going corrupt, but not always.
