TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I recently created a monthly Research Department newsletter with Microsoft
Publisher 2000 for both hard copy and as a PDF for our Intranet web site.
The printed copies saved as a Publisher file looked perfectly fine. I even
used all
options in the "design checker" before finalizing the .pub saved file. The
problem
was the PDF. Once I created the PDF and previewed it, I found lines and text
moved
all over the place! The printouts looked absolutely dreadful. It took an
inordinate
amount of time to "hand" fix the six pages and I don't look forward to doing
this every
month. The Web Team informed me this is a continuing problem with Publisher
2000
and they had no thoughts as to what to do. They wished me lots of luck.
Any suggestions for the future?
