Why can't I copy text after sending file as email in Publisher

[Zo]

I selected a template from Microsoft's website and edited it. After sending
it as an email (email sent as message), I am not able to highlight the text.
I am sending this as a press release, and therefor need this function to able
reporters to copy/paste the text.
If I start my own design (and don't use a template) highlighting isn't a
problem.
Any ideas?

When Publisher sends something as an email it changes the format. It
basically turns it into a picture. I don't think I'd use Publisher for a
press release (depending on your field). As much as I love Pub, I'd use Word
for that.

Check to see if you have overlapping elements. If you have an image
overlapping a text box, for example, it converts it to one larger image.
Make sure nothing is overlapping your text box and try that.

It doesn't always convert it to an image. If you overlap elements then, yes,
but as long as your text box is not overlapped by an image or some other
element, then that text can be copied.
