Anyone Using MS Publisher 2007?

[HP5000ps]

If so I am wondering how you go about printing something 48 in. x 150 in. or so.

Because there is no custom or pre sized template I can't seem to get it to want to print.

Any input on how to get it to work?

Print it to a PDF file.... you may get away with it then.

Use a real program

Publisher program is the NUMBER ONE mistake. PDF Might work.

Export it to MS Paint.

Yep, time to get the proper software for printing and making signs.

Thanks for all the help...

I know it is not a preferred program.

It is what I have to work with for this particular file.

Definitely print to pdf if you have that capability. You can also try to copy/paste into Illustrator. Sometimes that works

I used to get a lot of customer supplied files that were made in publisher.. I know I printed to pdf and I did often have trouble with the sizing.

But.. I thought there was a custom template size....

These links might help...

when i get customer supplied files i charge them $85 an hour to screw with .. and i get those puplisher and power point files more then i like to remember ..

From the templates create a new blank page size. I dont have a printer that can print that size so I can't tell you what to do after that.

I'd take power point over Publisher. I hate that stupid program. People do a layout for a 4' X 8' sign in there, and give it to me, and say, this is what I want EXACTLY, however, a sheet of paper isn't anywhere near proportional to a 4' X 8', and from what I've seen, you can't change it for anything but that.

I love publisher, I do all my designs with it.

Does publisher allow you to send files to your Cricut?

:ROFLMAO:

Crap, you beat me to it! Your Avatar looks like the guy from kickedinthenuts.com

Tell customers that there is a $50 charge for ms publisher files. You'll start getting alot less of them!

you are saying they use the whole 8.5" x 11.0" ....
and want you to make it into a 4'x8'?
i do layouts in corel all the time AT 4"X 8", on an 8.5 x 11" paper......THEN if i get to do the job, i just grab a corner, and take it to 4 FT X 8 FT... no problem.
and ive used publisher, i kinda like it, if your doing mixed text & pictures. and iam not a printer , but i cant see where sending that file to a printer, is gona be that hard to do, afterall the sol jets are still just a printer.....
