Default Word and Publisher file exchange - Need Help

I know there is a word file import function in publisher;
however, when you do this there are two problems which I
have been unable to figure out. First, if you import Word
file text and then attempt to save the file you've
created, it will only save as a Publisher file. So, if
you wanted to send this file using the nice formats of
Publisher as a Word file, you cannot? Most people use
Word, but not Publisher. Second, if you use the
Letterhead creation function within Publisher, and you
like to format you've created and save it, I have not
been able to figure out how to export that Letterhead as
a Word file to use as a Word-based Letterhead
file/template. Am I not doing something right, or is
Publisher and Word incompatible for these goals?

You are correct. If you create the letterhead in Publisher, it is a
Publisher file. If you want a pretty letterhead in Word, create the pretty
part in a graphics program and import it into Word.

I guess I just don't understand why people insist on using Word and
Publisher interchangeably. Yes, they can do similar things but they ARE two
separate programs. Use the proper program for the job.

JLP/A go back to bed sigh STOP BLOODY ANSWERING QUESTIONS YOU HAVE NO
IDEA ABOUT!!!

What you do in Publisher, is select the objects that make up the letterhead,
and copy them to the clipboard.
Then go to menu Edit and select Paste Special Paste as Picture.

You then copy that picture you just pasted to the clipboard, and then paste
it into Word and save it is a Word Template file.

David,

Please get off my a$$ for a while. (See, I'm being polite. I said please.) I
stand by what I said in response to the question.

No, I was raised not to use bad words in public. My mom taught me manners,
unlike yours.

JLA you are one of the most ill mannered cows I have come across.
You do not even understand the word 'decorum'.
Oh well, I suppose it was a female like you who committed all those
disgusting and inhumane actions on those Iraq prisoners.

A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from

You are claiming you can spell perfectly?
