Wandering toolbars

[Bob]

I have recently started using Publisher 2000. The formatting toolbar appears
when I click on a piece of text, then vanishes when I leave the text box. Is
there something I can do to keep the toolbar visible all the time? I makes
me nervous when bits of my program wander away without even asking-)

Suggest you seek therapy for your problem or upgrade to the latest version
of Publisher 2003.
Do you have the Toolbar docked or floating around space?

The Toolbar in Publisher 2003 does not dissapear but flashes at you on and
off when you select and de-select a Text Frame, so you may still require
psychiatrict therapy for that.

With you living in the second rate everything cockroach state of New South
Wales, you are unlikely to get assistance for your condition as the mental
health services are non-existent N.S.W.
You could try getting a freebie from the University of Sydney College of
Health Sciences, but don't expect the therapy to be up to standard.

The toolbar is docked, Publisher 2003 is not in the budget. Do I assume that
the vanishing formatting toolbar is a "feature" rather than a bug in P-2000?

Bob, must be. I don't have Publisher 2000 installed anymore. Only Pub 97,
Pub 2002 and Pub 2003.

Overall, you will find Publisher 97 a far superior product in all ways to
Publisher 2000.
Has substantially better features and a full range of defaults for Text,
Text Frames etc. etc. etc. and they can be set as the default for the
opening blank document or changed for the one publicaiton without affecting
your application default.
The best versions of Publisher are 2.0, 97 and 2003. Pub 98 and Pub 2000,
being very kind - dogs!

With all the huge amounts of money you get for free on Austudy the whole MS
Office Professional 2003 Academic which includes Publisher 2003 is only
$AU309 delivered - a mere pittance. With accomodation and housing rates so
incredibly cheap in Sydney you must be living like a king.

Bob, yes this is a feature in Publisher 2000. This has since changed once
Publisher 2002 was released (we are now at Publisher 2003).
