When resizing columns, how do I not get initial column imprints?

[specialevents]

The initial column side stays when i try and resize columns, how can I get
rid of it?

 

[Mary Sauer]

I haven't a clue what you are trying to convey. Is this a table? Select the
column, on the menu select table, delete column.

I am in Microsoft Publisher 2003. I am no trying to delete the column. I am
trying to adjust the size of the column. I hit shift and use the crosshairs
to adjust the size of the column, but the initial outline of the column stays
there even after I rsize the column. ..

Look in the control panel, Accessibility Options folder, display tab, clear high
contrast. If this isn't your solution look into updating your video/graphics
driver.

=================================
It's beginning to sound like you may have
a video driver issue. Try reducing your
Graphics Hardware Acceleration and see
if there is an improvement.

If the problem improves...go to the website
of your video adapter's mfg. and search for
an updated driver.

The high contrast is not clicked on. This is a brand new computer.

Keep reading the group. You will find it has been posted more times than I
have time to count that JUST BECAUSE YOUR COMPUTER IS BRAND NEW, IT DOES NOT
MEAN THAT YOU HAVE THE LATEST DRIVERS.

Please feel free to read an old response of mine.

The computer is mass-produced on a production line. The hard drive is
filled with data from a master disk, and that master disk does not change
often. Every time it changes, they have to go through a long testing
procedure to make sure it works - which they don't like to do very often.
They cannot afford the time or money to change it every time a new driver
comes out (each piece of hardware in the system has a driver, and new ones
are being developed all the time).
Also, even if they did this, if a new driver were released after the machine
left the factory but before you bought it, (which, given the amount of time
the machine will sit on a shelf before you buy it, is quite likely), you
would not have the latest drivers on your brand new machine.

What does your having to count how many times this has been posted have to do
with this? The statement you just sent me about the mass production is the
first time I have seen it. I went back to your other reponses and they are
very short responses. Nowhere was anything even close to this on my response
list. I was told this was a good forum from people who could give you the
answer yoou need.

unfortunately, you and mary sauer both seem to be very short today. I am
shocked and saddened you woould act like this. you are here to help and
puttting responses in CAPS, and using a sarcastic attitude defies
description. Believe it or not, some people don't know as much as you both
do. I neglected to put the face that i was in Publisher on the first e-mails,
which I apologize for. But your and Mary's rsponses have gone striaght south
since then.

Hello,
I am sorry we sounded short. Your first post was so ambiguous it was difficult
to understand what you are trying to do. The video driver is something you
should think about, especially if you play games and do other high graphic
things. You are seeing shadowing on your screen because of a video problem, this
is why I thought maybe you had high contrast enabled.
I have a brand new computer also and believe or not I have had to upgrade the
audio driver and the video driver.
We are here to help, we just need more details.

I have learned not to argue about the need to upgrade a video driver
regardless how new your computer is. Going back about eight years, this
has been the standard response (to give you an idea, I saw the same
messages and replies from someone who was using Publisher 98 - but it
was posted in 2002). I have no idea why Pub is like it is and it does
seem odd that a program tested and released three years ago would need a
driver released within the last year, but it is how the program works.
If nothing else, see if your driver is the latest. If it it, then that
eliminates one possible cause.

Mainly because cards have been released since Publisher was released, the
initial drivers are not mature and don't support the calls that Publisher
makes, etc. The older cards are the most likely to work with Publisher, as
far as I can tell (within reason).

What does your having to count how many times this has been posted
have to do with this?

Absolutely nothing.

I was told this was
a good forum from people who could give you the answer yoou need.

In that case, why did you choose to ignore our advice and claim that you
knew better?

unfortunately, you and mary sauer both seem to be very short today.

We're human. We're not paid to be here. We do other things with the rest
of our lives. We have good days and bad days. We're not machines.

I

help and puttting responses in CAPS, and using a sarcastic attitude
defies description.

Actually, you just described it pretty well, and as such it doesn't defy
description. Although I wouldn't describe my response as sarcastic. Just
blunt, perhaps a little condescending (sp?).

Believe it or not, some people don't know as much
as you both do.

In that case, why did you not actually believe me and look for a new video
driver rather than claim that you knew best?

Anyway, I'm sure you have more expertise than me in many areas. We just
have different specialisations.

I neglected to put the face that i was in Publisher
on the first e-mails, which I apologize for. But your and Mary's
rsponses have gone striaght south since then.

Yes, of course they have. If you don't want my help, please feel free to
say, and I will STFU. Until then, I will continue asking questions in a
manner I see fit, hopefully whilst getting answers from you that will help
me to answer your problem. If you don't like the service you get for free
here, you could always pay for MS tech support.
