MS Office Forum / Publisher / Programming / July 2007print dimensions in publisher?
Hi. I have to print out a design with the dimensions. Is there a way to do so or do i have to transfer to another application? Thanks. What dimensions?

Here's the thing, i'm designing something and need to print the dimensions of the OBJECTS (i.e. autosahpes : squares and circles). So, i need to be able to print the height and width of the object so that i will not have to measure manually... If you have an answer i would be most grateful. George. There may be some way to write a program that will give you that but that's not something I can do. You could get the properties of those items and then print a screenshot of that dialog box but I suspect that's not what you want to do.

Right-click the object, click format object, size tab, make note of the size. Create a text box and type the size information next to the object. Most autoshapes you can add text inside the object so you would not have to use a text box. There are creative ways to insert size with autoshapes.

Thanks but that's what i'm avoiding (copying and pasting in text boxes) because i have a LOT of shapes and text boxes will just crowd things and especially since this document is intended for printing. I create some of my home furniture and print the docs for the guy so that he will now what, how and where to cut, so if it is a bit crowded, i fear he will be lost... Thanks again for your responses. George. Hi again... Sorry, did not reach the end of the forum... I know this trick but having TOO many items makes it a bit of a hassle (right click every item, and typing the measurments inside....), so i was looking for a trick or a shortcut that might do this for me automatically. Seems there is no easy way to do so, i think i have to go back to the "OLD FASHIONED WAY", as suggested by Mary Sauer. Thank you... Cheers... If you had Visio or a CAD program...
