BUG REPORT: prints, but doesn't display, suppressed 1st page H
I took a look at your publication. The problem seems to be the "Dancing Fairies"
across the top. You are putting the phrase on the Master Page along with the page numbers. If you simply used your Dancing Fairies phrase without the page numbers you'd have your correct print. Use two Master Pages, one for the cover & back and the other for the center pages. In earlier versions of Publisher we didn't have the luxury of multiple master pages. We always advise creating a line-less white box over the page numbers that didn't need printed. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Andy Smith" wrote in message ... It's not there!

BUG REPORT: prints, but doesn't display, suppressed 1st page H/F's
OK, there are all kinds of workarounds -- including the very sloppy one
involving the white rectangle -- what if your publication's paper isn't necessarily white, or of one color? Never mind -- my point is, the single-master, two-section method I used, where each section's "show H/F's on the first page" checkbox is UNchecked, works on the screen, but not the printer. That's not WYSIWYG, and that's a *BUG*. Fine, I can work around it, but I also want to report this *BUG* for the benefit of others doing more serious work -- that's what a bug report is for, and that's why I wrote the subject line as such. I can't believe it's so hard to report bugs to Microsoft, but I've reported this *BUG* twice at the feedback link you gave me, and I can't find either report anywhere to give Rob Giordano the link. I have to assume this *BUG* exists in 2007 and 2010, but I don't have either one. If you have them, and since you've taken the trouble to look at my pub, would you kindly see if display matches printout in each, and then would you report this *BUG* so Rob can find it? -- Andy Smith Senior Systems Analyst Standard & Poor''s, NYC "Mary Sauer" wrote: I took a look at your publication.

BUG REPORT: prints, but doesn't display, suppressed 1st page H/F's
I probably shouldn't stay involved with this thread. I just don't believe this
is a bug. This is the way Publisher works. Anything you have on the Master page will print, you cannot have several objects and expect only the footer or header will print unless the objects are in the same text box. This is why two Master pages would make your booklet look the way you want. If you must have page numbers, insert them first, then add Dancing Fairies in the same text box. It makes no difference what color your stock is...on the screen it is white. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "Andy Smith" wrote in message ...

I have a four-page book-layout document, which therefore prints on two sides of one piece of paper, which I then fold in half. It has one two-page master with facing headers and footers, and two sections, the second beginning on page 4, the last page. In both sections I have UNchecked the box saying "Show headers and footers in the first page", because the first page is the front cover, and the fourth page is the back cover. When I click the four page icons in the lower left, the screen correctly shows page 1 without H/F's, then pages 2-3 with properly facing H/Fs, then page 4 blank. However, when I print it, H/F's appear on all four pages. This is neither WYSIWYG nor WYSIWYW (what you see is what you Want). *** This is a BUG, Redmond! *** Has anyone else seen this?

BUG REPORT: prints, but doesn't display, suppressed 1st page H/F's
"Andy Smith" wrote in message ... OK, there are all kinds of workarounds -- including the very sloppy one involving the white rectangle -- what if your publication's paper isn't necessarily white, or of one color? Never mind -- my point is, the single-master, two-section method I used, where each section's "show H/F's on the first page" checkbox is UNchecked, works on the screen, but not the printer. That's not WYSIWYG, and that's a *BUG*. Fine, I can work around it, but I also want to report this *BUG* for the benefit of others doing more serious work -- that's what a bug report is for, and that's why I wrote the subject line as such. I can't believe it's so hard to report bugs to Microsoft, but I've reported this *BUG* twice at the feedback link you gave me, and I can't find either report anywhere to give Rob Giordano the link. I have to assume this *BUG* exists in 2007 and 2010, but I don't have either one. If you have them, and since you've taken the trouble to look at my pub, would you kindly see if display matches printout in each, and then would you report this *BUG* so Rob can find it? -- Andy Smith Senior Systems Analyst Standard & Poor''s, NYC Yes one could almost get the feeling they don't want to know about bugs! Which is but one step from:- Our software doesn't have bugs! Geoff ExploitEd -- Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I wish I could remember the darn question |

Printers can't print white, so it doesn't matter what colour or pattern the paper is - printing white simply prints nothing. (At least as far as Publisher is concerned - some dye-sub printers can print white, but if you tell Publisher to print white, even they will print nothing, since in Publisher, "white = nothing".) Of course, if the Master Page has colours or patterns on, then that's different - but that was even the advice offered by the Help File back in the day. I guess the recommendation was then to white out the entire Master Page and copy and paste it on top of the white rectangle, removing unwanted elements. Fine, I can work around it, but I also want to report this *BUG* for the benefit of others doing more serious work -- that's what a bug report is for, and that's why I wrote the subject line as such. This newsgroup is for support and help doing what you need to do, not for reporting bugs. The individuals here are simply trying to help you do what you need to do. I can't believe it's so hard to report bugs to Microsoft, If Microsoft opened their bug reporting channels to the world and his wife, the vast majority of "bug"s would in fact be user error, and the real bugs would be practically impossible to distinguish without devoting a huge support staff to filtering through them. -- Ed Bennett |

BUG REPORT: prints, but doesn't display, suppressed 1st page H
I cannot duplicate this... If I ignore the Master on the first and last page,
the print preview/print is correct. I used your file, I had to re-setup the page as a booklet, other than that I made no changes except to check "Ignore Master" on pages 1 and 4. I am putting my file and PDF on a web page for you to look at. http://msauer.mvps.org/submitted_publisher_projects.htm -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ |

BUG REPORT: prints, but doesn't display, suppressed 1st page H
"Ignore Master Page" is a work-around. White rectangles is a work-around.
The clearing of the sections' "Show H/F's on first page" checkboxes should suppress H/F's from the sections' first pages. In fact it does, but only in normal display mode. The file as it stands displays correctly, but doesn't print or preview correctly. It's not WYSIWYG. That's a *BUG*. Fight me all you want, but it's a *BUG*. -- Andy Smith Senior Systems Analyst Standard & Poor''s, NYC "Mary Sauer" wrote: I cannot duplicate this...
