"Quick Publication Options" Task Pane
I am extremely new to Publisher. I am using one of the supplied Publication
Designs. When I choose the "Quick Publication Options" task pane for a new page, I am unable to use any of the page layouts shown in the task pane. They are grayed out. The only page in which thes layouts are "live" is the first page (which came already set up). What am I doing wrong? Jill Singer

Is Publisher a trial version? Can you create a publication from scratch? Have
you activated your product? -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "JSinger" wrote in message ... I am extremely new to Publisher.

"Quick Publication Options" Task Pane
It is not a trial version, and it is activated (assuming that means it is an
installed, licensed copy). The other features I have managed to locate work properly, just not the Quick Publication Options/layout feature. This appears to be similar to the "type of slide" feature in PowerPoint, but it is not allowing me to select any of the types of pages shown in the feature (e.g., blank, text box + graphic). As I said in my post, the feature is NOT grayed out for the first page of the publication. That is, I could select another layout from Quick Publication Options for that page. But, of course, I don't want to; the provided design is fine for the first page. I am not creating a publication from scratch, although I could. I am using one of the "designs" provided by publisher.

If the "Quick Publication Options" is dimmed I suggest you need to repair your
Publisher program.
