Publisher 2003 Problems
I have 2 concerns. The first is that Publisher 2003
seems very unstable compared to Publisher XP. It continues to give me blank screens whenever I add 3 dimensional text, but didn't do this in the XP version. I noticed that there is an Office 2000 sr-1??? update, but do I need that since I'm running Office 2003? Will it help w/the stability or did I screw up by upgrading? Last concern, Publisher XP would let me make images transparent and place them on top of other images, but it never printed that way. The "transparency" portion that was seen on the screen would show up as a complete color (normally white) when I would print. Was hoping Publisher 2003 would have fixed this, but I'm still having the same problem. Any advice? |

Publisher 2003 Problems
Have you upgraded your video driver? Go to manufacturer's web site and look around
for updated drivers. There is no stability problems related to Publisher 2003. Not sure I understand your second query. Are your images bitmaps? -- Mary Sauer MS MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://www.mvps.org/msauer/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Finch" wrote in message ... I have 2 concerns.

Publisher 2003 Problems
A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Finch
!"... I have 2 concerns. The first is that Publisher 2003 seems very unstable compared to Publisher XP. It continues to give me blank screens whenever I add 3 dimensional text, but didn't do this in the XP version. Blank screens? Your entire screen goes blank? Or it just doens't appear to add properly? I wouldn't call the latter a stability issue. Try updating your video drivers from the website of your video card manufacturer, and restarting Windows in Safe Mode and trying using Publisher I noticed that there is an Office 2000 sr-1??? update, but do I need that since I'm running Office 2003? Will it help w/the stability or did I screw up by upgrading? Office 2000 SR-1 will apply to any products you have leftover from Office 2000. The "transparency" portion that was seen on the screen would show up as a complete color (normally white) when I would print. Was hoping Publisher 2003 would have fixed this, but I'm still having the same problem. Nope. I wish it had been fixed a long time ago, but it's never happened. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |
