The inclusion of 2 threads was a mistake, as I am a new member and during
signup I lost contact mid posting. After re starting pc went through the
process again. I have lots of patience but I don't assume anything because it
can make an ass-(out of)u(and)-me.
Tried google and many others no joy. Tried view-pictures-detailed no joy.
Could it be anything else like graphic adapter conflict etc?

Don't worry. She's not real. She's an automated insultbot. When
someone reposts within five hours or when enough keywords match a
query in the FAQ then a random string of insults are displayed. She's
even set up to match the severity of the insult to how many word
matches are made from the FAQ. And they say that Microsoft
programmers aren't innovative enough - it makes my blood boil.
Microsoft programmers are clearly the best around to come up with such
a brilliant concept.

Might be your video driver.
Slide down the acceleration on your adapter, control panel, display folder, settings
tab, advanced button, troubleshoot tab.

Hi ,

Microsoft Office Publisher 2003 and older are critical about video
drivers. Usually upgrading (or downgrading in some cases) will fix
the problems you are encountering.

I would recommend is restarting your computer in 'Safe Mode'. To get
to Safe Mode, restart your computer and press "F8" at the beginning
of the boot process. Once prompted, choose 'Safe Mode'. Once in
'Safe Mode', attempt the same procedure with Microsoft Publisher.

If the publication works, then we will now assume the problem lies
within your video driver. Restart your computer.

If you have not already done so, you would want to visit the
manufacturers website of your video driver to download and install the
latest video driver that is available. It's important to note that
the CD-Rom that came with your video card will most likely NOT have the
most recent driver for your video adapter.

Popular Video Driver Sites:
-----------------------------
Nvidia
http://www.nvidia.com/view.asp?PAGE=drivers

ATI
http://mirror.ati.com/support/driver.html

Voodoo
http://www.voodoofiles.com/
----------------------------

Search for the video driver that represents the model that you are using
and download the driver. To determine which card you have:

1. Right Click on your Desktop
2. Go to Properties
3. Go to the Settings Tab
4. Click on Advanced

Search for the video driver that represents the make and model that you
are using and download that driver. I would make sure you select "Save"
when prompted for download, not "Run". Typically many save to My Documents.

After you download the driver begin the setup. Use the following procedure
to change your video driver:

1. Right click anywhere on your Desktop, and choose Properties.
2. This will open Display Properties. Choose the "Settings" tab
3. Click on the "Advanced Properties" Button
4. On the "Adapter" Tab, Choose "Change"
5. Now you should see "Select Device". If your new driver is listed, select
that model.
6. If not, choose "Have Disk", and browse to the location where you setup
the new driver.
7. Now choose "OK". Be sure to have you Windows CD available, as you may be
prompted for this.
8. After setup and install is complete, restart your computer.

This should fix your troubles. If not, either contact your video card
manufacturer directly and inform them of the problem you have experienced,
or turn down your hardware acceleration. This will be at least a possible
temporary fix until you get a response from the tech support from your video
card manufacturer. The steps to turn down your hardware acceleration are as
follows:

1. Right click on "My Computer"
2. Choose "Properties"
3. On System Properties choose the "Performance" Tab
4. Under advanced settings, choose "Graphics"
5. Change hardare acceleration to "None"
6. Choose OK and OK again
7. Restart computer

(You don't necessarily have to go all the way to None. You could try one
notch at a time, but that will require a restart for each notch).

Many thanks Mary. It worked a treat but I wonder if adjusting the slider will
affect graphic performance? We will have to see.
Many Thanks,
Graham

More than likely you need to
update your video driver. Try
searching the website of your
video card mfg. for updates.
