Transfer a *pub into a working template
Hi Everyone,
When I was searching in the discussion forum I realized that people asked this quetion before. Last time it was Gloria on March 15, 2006. However; there was no answer. The problem I’m having is that when I save my templates in the template folder it does not change my *pub file into a real template. I appreciate any ideas. -- Vanillla Using: MW 2003, Excell 2003, PowerPoint, Publisher 2003, FP 2003, |

If you save a Publisher file as a Publisher template, it doesn't mean that all elements become uneditable. This is not possible in Publisher. And it doesn't mean that using the wizard controls will let you change the document whilst keeping the same look. It just means you can use the My Templates area of the New dialog to create a document with the same starting layout as the document you saved. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher |

Transfer a *pub into a working template
Thanks Ed,
It is not your fault that I am disappointed. If, I understand well; it does not make any differences if I save it as an ordinary *pub or as a template. This would mean that this template is not really a template. In my opinion a template is: an unalterable some kind of pattern or outline that helps us to create something again and again. -- Vanillla Using: MW 2003, Excell 2003, PowerPoint, Publisher 2003, FP 2003, "Ed Bennett" wrote: Vanillla was very recently heard to utter: When I was searching in the discussion forum I realized that people asked this quetion before.

Transfer a *pub into a working template
Hi Ed,
I had a better success when I saved my ‘wannabe a template’ *pub file as a *gif file. -- Vanillla Using: MW 2003, Excell 2003, PowerPoint, Publisher 2003, FP 2003, "Ed Bennett" wrote: Vanillla was very recently heard to utter: When I was searching in the discussion forum I realized that people asked this quetion before.
