hmmmmm well last time I checked I had not left this earth - to venture
elsewhere.
NASA have a backlog on bookings. They have me right at the top of the list
now!!!
However, NASA Earth Observatory are considerate and send me some gorgeous
and interesting pictures and some highly thought provoking pictures at
times.

I have just been occupied elsewhere,
in some areas I would prefer to be,
and others areas I would not.

Set the printer up first to 11x17 portrait. The following is for Publisher 2000 and
below. In the page setup select special size, postcard. Create your postcard and
merge area. When you go to print, in the print dialogue, click page options, custom
options, set the margins and gaps to zero. Keep in mind your printer margins when you
create your postcard design.

Very cool! I figured you were off panning gold somewhere. I may regret
saying this later but I missed you. ;-)

Thank you.
Actually I will be off sluicing gold shortly again. We have had a 100mm/4"
rain so far this month. Appears the drought has broken. We are having
proper winter weather for the first time in 3 years.

That sounds good - will that make for a decent wine this year for you?

Yes it should help, but cold winter weather is one of the best things.
Has been pretty cold and heaps of snow.
Probably had the highest snow falls this early in winter for a long time.
It has snowed down to 200meters/660', which is low. Have had roads closed
due to snow that have not been closed for around 25 years the locals tell
me.
I don't mind winter at all.
One thing I really like about winter when it is cloudy and cold you can go
out into the wilderness and a lot of the animals are out during the day.
Australian animals are nocturnal (only come out at night). We have an
incredible range of animals and magnificently coloured birds in this area.

Thanks a lot for your help Mary. That worked with
Publisher 98. Is there a solution for versions of
Publisher newer than 2000? If possible, I would rather
use XP or 2003. If not, I can just use Publisher 98.
