I guess you are having to go through all your pages to delete the text boxes and
tables. There is no quick and easy way to change once you have a table on all
200 pages.

Mary, I periodically need to make changes in the size of the table on
each publication page (ie add more rows with text) and modify the size of the
text boxes beneath it to allow all the info to fit on one page. If I make
these changes to the master and apply them to a range of publication pages,
are you saying that I must always delete the existing tables and text boxes
in each publication page first to avoid superimposing the new information on
the old information? There is no way to use the find and replace option for
whole tables or text boxes? If I need to delete so many items, how do I
apply the delete page option to a range of pages?

I have a 200 page document in publisher 2007. The contents of each page
differ by only a small amount of text at the top of each page. Each page
contains a large table and several text boxes. I need to replace the old
information in the table and several text boxes with the same new
information
for all 200 pages. How do I do this quickly and efficiently?


Thanks Mary. I created a master page and applied it to a range of existing
publication pages, however, instead of replacing the old information, the new
information was superimposed on top. Each page now has overlapping tables,
text, and margins of text boxes. What did I do wrong, and how do I fix it?
