Default Cutoffs after Conversion

I got that after Mary explained it to me. But thank you.

There ARE NO ribbons in Publisher 2007, no matter how you install it.

Thanks Geoff. I'm using Publisher 2007. The lack of ribbons is what threw me.
I must have made a mistake or missed something when I installed the update.
I'll give it another try this evening.

The PDF converter from Microsoft is really very good. There is a
change button when you *save as* a PDF. I created a card using the
dimensions you posted and it worked perfectly. I can't say why you
don't have the option.

Thanks Mary. I downloaded/installed the software, closed
out/restarted publisher & gave it a try but there isn't a change
button. Also, when I did the Save As', PDF wasn't an option. I
toyed around in the print option section but it didn't work for
me. I keep feeling like I'm working in 2003 instead of 2007.
Especially since the face of Publisher looks the same. Does that
make a difference? "Mary Sauer" wrote:

I've designed a standard sized business card (3.5x2) to be sent
to the printer. Per the instructions on their site for full
bleed, I
added .125 to the size of the card which ended up being
3.625x2.125. I also added a bit more space in the margin of the
text boxes as a safety zone. I am have Office 2007 though the
Publisher program looks the same
as Office 2003, which is odd because all of the other programs in
2007 uses ribbons. When I print/save the file as a .tiff, .pdf
or jpeg, the program
cuts off the edges of the card. The .tiff version shows white in
place of the parts that have been truncated. How do I save the
file for printing so that nothing
is cut off?


Is the Lady really working in pub2007 or is it in fact pub2003?

Which Mary I think she is saying is what is happening. Which is why I
asked the question.

ribbons. I must have missed something when downloading/installing the update
you recommended so I'll give it another try this evening. I forgot to mention
that Vista is my operating system. Hopefully it's user error and not the
operating system causing the problem. Thanks Again!

Can I toss something in here about items cutting-off in Publisher? Haven't really found another thread that works...I am trying to put together a simple sign with .3" margins, well above my printer's minimums. It's in landscape, 11 x 8.5. The screen looks fine, but Print Preview and actual printing lops off about 1/2 inch from the right hand side. Left side prints OK even though text lies outside the blue margin-lines. I've done page options, set the margins, tried copy-and-paste into a new document, getting rid of footers, blah blah blah...Same thing all the time. What is going on, and how can I fix it?

Bruce, What are your printer's margin limitations? When you print landscape the
right side will be the largest margin.

Hi Mary - Thanks for getting back to me. I will try that. If I don't sign
back on and whine some more, you'll know it worked. Thanks!
