Re: File's layout changes from two page to single page after savin

Actually, I did 'save as webpage' in Pub 2000 - that was what caused the
problem. The answer I got from Microsoft for that issue was not to 'save as
webpage' any file you wanted to also keep as PUB. They assured me that 2007
would not have this problem.

In this case I did choose 'publish as a PDF' - which I was perhaps unclear
on - to produce a PDF. I assumed the original PUB file would be unchanged by
the process but have found that not to be the case; it has made the file
single page and I can't figure how to get it back to double page.

It wouldn't be a problem except that my newsletter has pages that carry over
from one issue to the next. Last month I had to recreate the whole thing
because I couldn't figure out how to change it back to a two page spread. I
don't want to have to do that every month.

Areil,

I think your problem might be because of your work flow. In Pub 2000 if you
wanted a HTML version of the Pub file, you should have Saved as a Web page,
not Save As an html file. In Publisher 2007, try File > Publish as a PDF or
XPS instead of a Save As work flow. This will not convert your original Pub
file to a PDF file. It will create a new PDF file.

It's fine until I save it to PDF. I think it would be OK if I didn't save
it
again as PUB after creating the PDF file.

The old Publisher 2000 had a similar problem in that if you saved an HTML
file from the publisher file, both the PUB and HTML files were in HTML
format. I know I read that they were fixing that, but perhaps they didn't
fix it completely?

I will try not saving it again and see if that helps. Though that feels
like a work around to a real problem.

step that I have been failing to take.

I am creating a 20 page newsletter in Publisher 2007, 5 pieces of
paper double sided and folded in half. When I am working on the
newsletter, it looks fine - double page layout, all my fonts, the
works, however the moment I am done and SAVE THE FILE AS A PDF using
the patch that I recently downloaded from Microsoft, the original PUB
file CHANGES FROM A DOUBLE TO A SINGLE PAGE LAYOUT! I do nothing to
it except save and exit, but the next time I open the file, the
layout has gone wonky.

This has happened twice - in both September and October - however
this time I also saved the file as a Publisher 2000 file as well.
Luckily that older format file still retains the two page layout, so
I am not in the hot water I was last month, but I would REALLY like
to know what is going on. Is there something I should do (or not do)
when I save the file as a PDF? Or have I found a bug in the software?
====================================
What if you save the new file with your current
edits for the new month before you print to .pdf?
