Importing labels from Word2003

I have Publisher2003 and WindowsXP

My labels in Word2003 are made by using the table facility
to create 8 labels (two columns, 4 rows) on one A4 portrait
sheet.

These labels have pictures and text boxes on them, and
various fonts.

When I try to import these Word2003 labels into Publisher
the import either does not happen, or is incomplete (eg the
text boxes don't import.)

Please help,
Frank

If all the labels are different, you may have to copy/paste each table cell
individually. You may have to create a text box in Publisher, copy the text in
Word, with the cursor in the text box, paste.
When I "Import Word Document" from the file menu everything comes over.

It might help to open the Office Clipboard (Edit Menu) in both the Word and
Publisher program. You can collect 24 items.

Thanks, I can do this with the cut & paste.

How does one get rid of the annoying blue line bordering the
page? I want to get rid of this but I want also to have
the lines showing the cells of the table. If I go to the
View/Boundaries&Guides and deselect it the table borders go
away. I just want to get rid of the blue line.

I can horizontally centre the text in each cell of the table
by using the centre/justify tool. But is there one for the
vertical as well? I cant find it.

Is there a tool for making all the cells of the table the
same size? Typically we use an A4 sheet with 8 labels on
it, so we want to use the 'make table' and then select the
rows and columns and then press a button to fill the page
with the cells equally.

In the Arrange menu you can set the margin guides to zero. This will get rid of
the blue line.

Select the table, right-click, format table, cell tab, the alignment choices are
here.

Publisher doesn't have a tool to make all the columns and rows equal. You can
create exact ruler guides in the Arrange menu.

I have another problem.

My labels were all designed on Word2003 and worked very well
on an OKI colour printer.

Our new colour printer is a Samsung CLX-6210/FX that works
OK but unfortunately gives a too-great a top margin on the
page due to the feeding grip of this printer.

We have tried to counteract this by the usual Word2003
software page set-up but nothing works.

In Publisher2003 we can shift the page of labels up over the
page on the screen and this partially solves the problem,
but if we go too far over the top of the screen page some of
the characters of the top labels are cut off. We need only
about another 2mm above the page to solve the problem.

Please help,
Frank

Can you change the margins in the page setup. When you select *change copies per
sheet* does it help to change the top margin 2mm?
