how do i save a publisher file as read only so no one can change
Hi-
If you have a PDF program - save a copy as a PDF and send that. or... Open a new Publisher file with the same size page as your original and with as many pages as your original. In your original file, Select AllCopy a page (or pair of facing pages.). In the new file, Paste SPECIAL as PICTURE onto the new page. You will have to do this procedure for each page (or facing pair.) (DO NOT get rid of or delete your original file because you cannot edit the "picture" copy!) M.

It isn't complicated to send a PDF file. If I receive a read only file, I
immediately clear the read only option. Morisot gave you the best advice. If your recipients do not have the Publisher program, they cannot edit the document. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "bikerbooker" wrote in message ...

If they don't have Publisher, the recipients can't even open the file. ;-)

how do i save a publisher file as read only so no one can chan
thanks for all the comments. i do not have a program that will allow me to
convert to pdf files. i can read them but not create them. i do not want to buy a new program just for this. again the same question - why can't i use the read only option that's already in the program?????? the people receiving the program all have the publisher program. i do not want them to be able to alter it at will. once i create it, i want to be sure that's what gets printed, not someone else's idea of a newsletter with my name on it. jo ann "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: If they don't have Publisher, the recipients can't even open the file. ;-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] ~~~~~ How to ask a question http://support.microsoft.com/KB/555375 "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...

I don't know what program you have so I can't be certain. If you mean Adobe
Reader, then no. that is a reader only.
