A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Ron
!"... How much longer must we wait before Micorsoft allows us to set the default font in Publisher? You mean like is possible using the add-in available at www.kvalheim.org? -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm |

Up to Publisher 97 then Microsoft decided you most definitely had no need
whatsoever for that feature. Considering every other program has that feature, it just proves what a *MASSIVE* bunch of dummies are in the Publisher division and Microsoft generally. There is nobody there that cares a damn about customers, only massive rip-off profits and monopolistic abuse. -- "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there!" |

David,
I don't mean to cause any problems but if you dislike Microsoft and Publisher so much, why do you continue to (1) use Publisher and (2) participate in this newsgroup? Surely there are other things you DO enjoy that could occupy your time. I used to read a Usenet group for years and then it started getting snippy. It got downright ugly. I stopped reading it for quite some time. Just recently I popped back in and thought things had calmed down. Wrong. It'll be some time before I waste my time in there again. You seem to know the product quite well but if it displeases you so much, why not just stop? -- JoAnn Paules - MVP Microsoft Publisher "°°°MS°Publisher°°°" wrote in message ...

JL if you managed to have any basic knowledge about things past you could
comment. However, you are a dumb person that has never bothered doing any research, and would be incapable of doing the basic homework required. JL now learn to shut your jaws until you have necessary knowledge. JL uneducated fools like you should not be allowed to have an internet connection or phone line. That would help save the world from imbeciles. People should only be allowed to connect to the Internet with an IQ of 120 or newspaper editors. JL you with hovering around 50 would not stand a chance. Go to Iraq and help molest the Iraq prisoners along with the trash filth scum slime US soldiers. Of course it is unlikely all those disgusting depraved atrocities committed by US soldiers in Iraq are being shown there. -- "If you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there!" |

No! Imean like in Word. The add-in you mentioned is a joke
at best. Every time you open pulisher you have to resave the "default" text box format. How hard good it be to have the option like in Word? -----Original Message----- A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Ron !"...

I'm sorry, but you must not know how to use the add-in properly. Follow the tutorial. You don't have to resave the default text box everytime. You can set your settings in the registry (which is done by the add-in for you) so that when you open a blank Publication, you click the default button and your settings are there. You should research before you make such comments. -- Brian Kvalheim Microsoft Publisher MVP http://www.mvps.org/publisher This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |

Why is every one in this discussion group so mad? I made a
comment that may have been wrong but it did not deserve your comments. I still do not understand Micrsofts inability to make this an option. that said I will try AGAIN the add-in which I have tried on at least two occasions. After I close Publisher the settings are no longer there until I create a text bos and resave. Ron -----Original Message----- On 30 Apr 2004 07:53, "Ron" wrote: No! Imean like in Word.

After I close Publisher the settings are no longer there until I create a text bos and resave. How is everyone mad? We would just assume that you are the mad one because you called something a joke, yet you had not gone through and effectively learned how to use the add-in. Note that there are 4 buttons on the new toolbar (which you can customize to make it smaller by removing the text from each button, then dock to your other toolbars). One button will SET your defaults. THEN one button will SAVE your defaults to the registry. Then one button is used to load those defaults when you open a new publication. And the last button is the Text Box button you use to create text boxes (no longer would you use the text box button on the object toolbar). Once you have made your preferences, set them, and saved them, you should no longer need to worry about those buttons. Now you will just have the LOAD button and the Text Box button to use. Also, one thing you may not have known is that the Publisher team assumed that normal.pub was not really used back when they moved to Publisher 98. However, I have attended some meetings with the Publisher team recently, and they have heard loud and clear that the customer would like to see this feature. The reason they know now is based on feedback from this newsgroup, as well as when people look up DEFAULT font/etc in the help box in Publisher 2003. This information is sent to the Publisher team, and they are seeing this request over and over. It's on the wish list for Publisher 12. Let's hope it makes it. Until then, I have worked with the Publisher team, as well as Ed Bennett to create this Add-In that helps set a default font for future blank publications. The only extra step you need to take is to click the one "Load" button when you are opened to a blank publication. Any questions, give us a yell. -- Brian Kvalheim Microsoft Publisher MVP http://www.mvps.org/publisher This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. |

Especially since the person who created that add-in reads this newsgroup.
