Moving pub. file from one computer to another
I am working on a four page newsletter on my home PC. I want to send it to
my work laptop. I usually do this by email. This file is too large to send it by email according to AOL. I tried burning it on to a CD, but my PC tells me that I don't have enough space on my hard drive. Can someone help me figure out what to do? Would I be able to save it on a flash drive? Thanks for your help! |

Moving pub. file from one computer to another
Is the file too large to send or are you actually being notified that the
mailbox is too full? How big is the file? Are you using Publisher '03? Have you tried the FilePack and GoTake to Another Computer... wizard? I just used it on a 4 page NL & resulted in a 650K folder which should be plenty small enough to email or definitely move to a USB drive with no problem. Even with several hi-res graphics it should transport easily enough. (I also embedded 4 fonts & 4 13MB TIFFs in it for a Pub file of 1.45MB on disk, Packed to 706K - surprised even myself :-}). Certainly shouldn't choke up the HD - or are you trying to save directly to a CD? That's a no-no. Use your CD-Burning software to copy the Pub file to a CD (the same for a USB drive if you go that route). As long as it's a clean disk you should have plenty of room for linked graphics, embedded fonts, etc. - CDs hold about 650 MB, USB drives can go up in the gigs. Then there's always file compression utilities, like WinZip, et. al. "ThreehundredE" wrote in message ... I am working on a four page newsletter on my home PC. I want to send it to my work laptop.

Moving pub. file from one computer to another
Thanks for your help, John. I really appreciate it! The file is 16MB and it
is not completed yet. It'll be larger when I'm done so my concerns are just beginning. I'll try uploading to a flash drive. I will need to purchase one today. I hope that Publsiher's packing feature will allow me to do so. It wouldn't allow me to do that when I tried to burn a CD. Yes, I'll need to clean out my computer with unused programs and files. I also told my husband when we purchased my computer a year ago that the hard drive that he was purchasing was not big enough. He reluctantly listened to me and purchased a larger one, but I should have spent the $ and bought a BIG one. At this point, I'll try to go to the links that you provided me. I'm in a time crunch to get this project done in a few days so that is why I'm stressing about not being able to copy the file to my work laptop. I appreciate your help, John! Thanks again!

Thanks again! =========================== 16MB is not an unusually large file. Couldn't you save it to your hard drive in the normal way as a .pub file and use the software that came with your burner to burn it on a CD? Burning directly from Publisher is not generally recommended. -- ******John Inzer******** **MS Picture It!

Moving pub. file from one computer to another
Thanks for the information Cyber Taz! I sure learned a lot here!
When I try the FilePack and Go to save onto a CD, my computer tells me that my I don't have enough space on my hard drive--and to remove unnecessary programs and files. My file is about 16MB and will get larger by the time I'm finished working on it. I will try to use my CD burning software to copy the file onto a CD. I didn't think about that. I thought that I could just copy directly from Publisher. If I go the Winzip route, I'll need to buy and install software. That's okay, too, if it will work with my obvious technology-challenged capabilities. What do you think about the uploading sites that John recommended? I registered at one, but didn't get to try it out yet. Thanks again! I really appreciate your help!

John and Cyber Taz:
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You two are wonderful! I just burned a CD and was able to upload it onto my laptop! My burner has some glitches, but I was finally able to burn something that worked.
