Publisher-Inserting a file

Mary;
I'm sorry that I have not tried your suggestionas I have
been busy trying to get the newsletter ready to publish
and trying other ways to work around the problem. I was
able to insert my graphics by click and drag enough to
finish the work.
Now that I have more time, I will go back and see what I
can document. I have made some copies of the desktop with
the error messages, but need to be more specific with what
I have done to get there.
Will post more info later.
Thanks for you input.

When you get the error, click the details, tell us what
it says.
Meanwhile, try "Detect and Repair" under Help on the
toolbar. This article may help
too

You receive an error message and then the program quits
unexpectedly when you use a
program of Office 2003

I am using MS Windows XP Home and MS Office 2003-Pro
Publisher 2003.
After having a crash where I had to use the switch in
back
to shut down, I have been unable to insert any files
into
a publisher page.
I keep getting a notice that "MicroSoft has encounted a
problem and must close. Send report, which I have done.
This hasn't corrected the proble and I need to be able
to
insert some files from scanning and change their color
to
black and reduce the brightness to use as a watermark.
Can someone please tell me how to correct this problem?
Thanks
"MOE"

Thanks for the suggestion.
I am using PagePlus 8 as well as Draw Plus6 and Photo Plus
8 as well as Pub 2003.
I feel the Page Plus may be corrupted and plan to re-
install it. Now that I have the newsletter going to the
printer, I can check out the programs and see which ones
are giving me trouble.
I will post more later as I find some answers as which
ones are troublesome.

Moe,

Can't say about Pub but if PP will not import them, they
I would venture
a guess they are corrupt. What version of PP are youusing?

I would still like to find out why I can' insert a file
from the insert menu. I was able to get the files
inserted
by drag & drop.
This problem also exists in Serif PagePlus.The logs
show
that there may be problems with the .dll's as well as
some .exe's.
My Lexmark X83 does not like to talk to Windows XP Home
even though I have downloaded new drivers and installed
them.
I don't know about my HP 1210 All in one.
What do you think may be the answer?

Moe, how are you trying to insert your files? Are you

trying to use the

Insert from Scanner feature? If so, avoid doing so.
This

is likely an issue

with your Scanner driver. Scan your image into your

scanning software, save

the image in a compatible format with Publisher (such
as

png, jpg, gif), and

use the Insert Picture from File menu and browse to
your

saved scanned

images. NEVER use Publisher to scan in your images.

Yes Mary, I had completely uninstalled Lexmark about 3
times. And, yes I was aware of the driver update and had
downloaded it. I completely disconnected the Lexmark and
am using my HP. Lexmark wasn't the problem but it may have
caused it.
I will update the forum after I try to document the
problem with the other applications.

When you installed the Lexmark, did you completely
uninstall it first?

There is a special section for Lexmark...
