I REALLY hope you can help me!! I have created a beautiful post card in
MS Publisher. Now I want to send it to the printers, but all the printers
in Japan only accept either JPEG, BMP, PICT, or TIFF and they need it
saved as a 300 dpi file.

Does anyone have any idea how I can save my postcard as a 300 dpi graphics
file?

I have PainShopPro 8 as well as Publisher 2002 (in case PSP could be used
to do some converting).

Thank you SO much if you can possibly help.

Richard not possible in Publisher 2002.
Publisher 2003 fixes all these issues.
If you want to e-mail the file to me, I will happily send you back a 300dpi
image.
As long as the Publication does not use any non-standard fonts, there will
be no issues.

e-mail the file to me in a *.ZIP file to auslandline at the hotmail company

A couple extra steps might get you there. I use Photoshop
on this end, I don't know if your PaintShop is anything
like it. Print a PDF out of Publisher with Fonts and
Pictures embedded and Open the PDF into
Photoshop/PaintShop and save as a tif. You can choose what
dpi and all that stuff you want when it opens

Find a different printer. Your present one is, to be nice, an idiot.

the reason for all of the disparaging comments about printers who insist on
getting pages as tiff or jpeg is very simple:

The quality you can expect from such pages is terrible. Especially type. And
photos can be as well, especially if they were of other than 300 dpi to
begin with when imported into Publisher.

The best solution is to find a printer (or service bureau) who can properly
work with the native publisher files (and not charge you an arm and a leg to
recreate it in a different application). Hopefully one who is not deathly
afraid of RGB images (as most of the "newbies" in this business tend to
become--and the vast majority of small printers who are now accepting
electronic files are very much newbies in electronic prepress), and so on.

The next best is going to put more of the onus on you to provide a
prepress-quality PDF Assuming the printer can properly process them (which
means that they DO NOT import them into Quark or anything else)...you will
need to (probably) buy additional software (full version of Adobe Acrobat)
and to learn more about what you need to do to properly prepare a
prepress-cabable PDF file...it is NOT rocket science, but is IS paying
careful attention to details in how the printer is set up, etc. ANd you
will need to communicate with your printer regarding what pdf job options
they require. You will also need to ascertain if they can properly handle
RGB images--if they cannot, this is a warning flag...most rips these days
(actually ALL of them, as far as I know) can handle this very smoothly and
do an excellent job, but if the operator doesn't know how to set it up to do
so, then ...

Outputting Publisher files is not big thing. but it can be to someone who
hasn't been around the block a couple times.
