Moving pub. file from one computer to another

You may have sufficient HD space, but that message may still come up if you
try to save directly to a CD. If you Pack to the HD you can then burn to the
CD.

As the others have said, USB drives are a real steal right now so I wouldn't
be without one - in fact, I have 3. Just use 'em right & they'll serve you
well. My son carried a Sandisk Cruzer Titanium in Kuwait/Iraq for about 8
months & still works like brand new.

Glad we had some useful info to offer.

Good Luck |:)

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!

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.

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!

Hi Cyber Taz: I tried to pack it to the HD and that's when the "insufficient
space" message came up. It wouldn't allow me to do that. As suggested, I
used the software burner and it worked out! I also took everyone's advice
and ran down to the store and purchased a 2GB on sale for almost half the
price. I wonder why I didn't think of doing it sooner! Thanks so much for
your help. I really appreciate what you do. Aloha!
