AskWoody LoungerDriscoll,
No, this is not an option in Publisher 2000. You do have this ability with Publisher 2002, as it supports macros/vba and should be able to search a closed file.

AskWoody LoungerBob, this is not an option in Publisher 2002, nor is it in any of the older versions. You are either going to have to do it manually, or you will have to edit your text portions in Word, create the index, then copy and paste into Publisher 2002. This is a great idea which should be implemented. Send your wish to mswish@microsoft.com and include Publisher in the Subject line.

AskWoody LoungerThis sounds like a Keyboard driver issue. I would reinstall your keyboard, or I would visit the manufacturers website of your keyboard and dowload any newer drivers that may be available.
Out of curiosity, try starting your computer in safemode and see if this still happens. If it does not, then you are looking at a keyboard driver problem or a video driver problem.

AskWoody LoungerThere is no workaround for this in 2000 and older version of Publisher. However, Publisher 2002 has addressed this problem. Publisher now has compression in the objects which has greatly reduced the file sizes compared to the older versions.

AskWoody LoungerPaul,
You are correct about the incompatible formats again. However, if you are familiar with vb, you could create a macro that you could make a special button on your toolbar that would bring up a default “Save As” 2000/98. I am not familiar with VB, but it is entirely possible. FWIW, all future versions, starting with Publisher 2002 will be cross compatible. This means that Publisher 2002 will be able to open Publisher 2004 files with out the need to “Save As”.
