Why can't you print from Publisher? Are you getting an error message? Have
you updated your printer drivers?

OHHHHHHHHHHH -

Well, IIRC print shops are eligible for free copies of Publisher. I know
someone else here can fill you in on those details. Until then, you could
buy Adobe Acrobat for about $250 or there are several low-cost/free programs
available that will convert your files to a .pdf. I've been recommending
PrimoPDF to the others in my group. I'm biased and prefer Acrobat but I also
edit .pdf files at times.

They should pay you money to use such sub-standard software.

I cannot understand you people that use garbage software like that.

The full version of Adobe Acrobat is so cheap everybody should own it.

Oh dear, another Blitisher I see - no wonder.

I wish Acrobat *were* that cheap. $250 is a lot of money these days.

JoAnn,

It isn't "cheap" but it is worth it to people who need it. :-) One
reason I like it, I can use Quark to print a file without have to spend
$900 for the program (no way can I justify buying it to print the one
file a year I seem to get). The Free, and Legal, Quark Demo places a
huge "watermark" Quark Demo Express Demo on each page when printed. With
Acrobat, it's a piece of cake to get rid of. Another advantage, a
printer can send you the exact setting he/she wants you use to create a
pdf (a joboptions file) and you can use that to create pdf files that
your printer will love. It also allows you to use plug-ins, such as
Quite a Box of Tricks to convert RGB files to CMYK quickly and efficiently.

If all one wants to do is create pdf files to e-mail to a friend or post
on the Internet, the other alternatives are adequate and Acrobat
overkill. But if one does much commercial printing or accepts outside
files for placement in newspapers or magazines, or even newsletters, it
is a necessity.

Mike

JoAnn $250 is about a day and halfs wages these days. People waste more
money on buying lunch and drinks a week than that.

I have Acrobat thanks to the organization I belong to but if not for them,
I'd be using a low cost alternative. With the economy around here, $250 is
more than a day and half's wages. I used to make decent wages but that job
is now history. As is the one that replaced it. And now - I'd have to work
damned near a 40 hour week to earn that money (before taxes). It sucks but
it's a job (part-time) and it keeps me busy few a few hours each week.

Yes, people do waste a lot of money on lunches, drinks, cigarettes, and
other vices. I will admit that I could cut back on my spending a bit.
Fortunately I don't smoke and I only have maybe four or five drinks a year.
I had my first Cosmopolitan the other week. Woo-whee! I hit my quaterly
alcohol quota in that one drink!
