lock shape/object position
Other than placing objects on a master page, can shapes, text boxes and other
objects have their position protected to prevent from accidental repositioning - sort of like you can do in Visio for example? This feature is available in Adobe InDesign (and other products) and is very useful. |

lock shape/object position
InDesign --- from Adobe $699.00
Illustrator --- from Adobe $499.00 PhotoShop-from Adobe $1199.00 Publisher -- from Microsoft $150.00 before rebate Publisher with Digital Imaging -- $209.00 before rebate ( I think the rebate offers have expired) There are always going to be products that have enhancements Publisher doesn't have. Might try an evaluation of Expressions http://www.microsoft.com/products/ex...ree_trial.aspx -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "KurtPL" wrote in message ...

They also contain the 800 number for the Microsoft rebate center so I think they are valid. http://g-images.amazon.com/images/G/...0016541565.pdf http://static.tigerdirect.com/Rebate...5670-Dec31.pdf -- John Inzer |

Thank you for your response Mary. True, Publisher offers a definite price
advantage when compared to Adobe's professional products. However, Microsoft regularly solicits suggestions for product enhancements as I am sure you are aware. I am merely tendering this as an idea for Publisher's future. After all, Visio offers such capability, Excel offers cell protection and neither approach the price of InDesign or the other quoted products. Publisher does many things better than InDesign...tqables, for example. Rather than close one's eyes to the possibilities, consider a real Publisher Professional edition. This isn't a new concept to Microsoft...look at the tiered approach to Visio, Office and .Net developer products.
