Publisher 2002

[camslp]

I am trying to create a booklet for our senior night and cannot figure out how to get the pages to print back to back. Counting the front and back cover I have 7 pages. I would also like to print on the inside of the front and back cover. HELP-this has to be completed by 5/19!

go to double page view to set up your book, then in

print, go to collate and follow the instructions. You
need to be careful to select which pages to print and
then reinsert printed pages the opposite way. it might
take some experimentation, but it will do it.
Personally, i recommend 2000 version as 2002 is horrible
to use - nowhere near as user friendly as 2000!

I would recommend 2002, as IMNSHO 2000 was horrible and nowhere near as
easy-to-use as 2002 (of course, 2003 is even easier).
What don't you like so much about 2002 that makes you rubbish it so?

JLA you would not know one version from the next and no idea about anything,
so go back to bed and stay there.

JLA get a job in Iraq torturing the Iraq people. You would get great
pleasure out of that.

The poor people of Iraq thought they were escaping Saddam and they ended up
with far worse, sick disgusting filth scum slime yankee soldiers.

Limitations on word art. 2002 changes word art from
previous versions to images, thus precluding the option
of altering any previous word art. It will not change
them back if you ask to save as p2000 either
When you try to redo the word art, you're presented with
a totally different system which i have found almost
totally incomprehensible, without any similarities of
operation to the old system that i have been able to find
as yet.
i'm spending a bit of time where possible to try and get
into this new system, but i'm really missing the point of
it all, i think.
Publisher is a great program and i've worked through
every version since about 1985, but when i had a problem
with 2000 one day shortly before a deadline and didn't
have my install CD with me, i went out and bought the 02
upgrade, thinking it would probably be better, just as
every previous version ie 1,2,3,95,98 and 2000 had
improved on each other, only to find that having opened
my 16 page publication that ALL my word art had been
converted to images and I couldn't change ANY of it in
the new program!!!
I ended up working 30 hours straight to redo all that
word art and get my newsletter out on time.
First thing I did when I got home was reinstall 2000 and
then spent a few more hours redoing the publication so
next month I wouldn't be trying to do the same thing
again.
So you can see why i'm not impressed with 2002. Maybe i
need a lesson in using the word art in 02, but i haven't
yet been able to get it to produce the same results as
2000 word art

I'm sure 2002 is improved in many ways over 2000 and
likewise 2003 over 02, BUT i use a lot of word art and i
have done since Publisher version 1 around 1984/5 and
i've grown with word art, but 2002 word art is just so
totally different, i cant get it to work in any way
similar to how i used to get previous word art going.
print preview is OK, but a little superfluous considering
the wysiwyg system used in Pub
Thank you for your comments and your offer of help with
another post earlier.

PS disregard that silly post by donotknock@r. Sounds like
he needs to get a life or a brain or something.
absolutely no need for nastiness like that in a forum

But 2002 is better with publications that have photos. Much smaller files.
Plus I *really* like Print Preview. I'm just as fond of 2003 as 2002.

It was nice of you to stand up for her and probably not just for her but also in a way for others also who would like to use peacefully this peer-to-peer help-discussion group

Geoff, you can use the old WordArt in Publisher 2002/03. Go to Insert >
Object > Create New > MS WordArt 2.0

Actually, it doesn't do that (convert to a graphic) unless you downloaded
and installed the prepress WordArt commerical registry fix. Otherwise,
WordArt from previous versions will be converted to the new WordArt, but
there will be formatting loss.

|| every previous version ie 1,2,3,95,98 and 2000

3.0 = Publisher for Windows 95 (95)

The only way this would have happened is if you installed the prepress patch
for Publisher 2002. This patch converts the WordArt to graphics so that the
WordArt doesn't lose it's formatting when a printer is given this file and
sending it to press. If you didn't run the reg fix, then your WordArt is
converted to the new Escher WordArt.

See my previous post which shows you that you can also use the old WordArt
in the new Publisher.

<snip>

So Publisher 2002 is far more difficult to use than Publisher 2000, merely
because of the WordArt?
The 2002 WordArt is far easier to use if you have used Word since version
97, but is a little different if you haven't (a couple of functions that
were available previously aren't now, but there are for more improvements
and additions than there are removals)
It might help you to learn your way around the new WordArt if you turn on
text labels on your WordArt toolbar. You can do this using the Customize
Toolbar functionality (something which couldn't be done in Publisher 2000)
