MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / December 2005Tag Line and Org Name Text Boxes?
I'm just getting started using Pub for web. Somehow I got two text boxes that replicate on all my pages (I actually can see a good use). When I move the mouse over the edges one shows that it's a "Tag Line Text Box" and the other shows it's an "Organization Name Text Box". I can't find anything in online help or the $10 reference I bought. What are these? How did I create them? What do they do? When is it best to use them? Thanks Tom There is "ALT" text under the Picture formatting dialog. What version of Pub are you using? What web site template are you using?

So does your note imply that these text boxes are somehow associated with a picture? The only picture was a logo that I tore apart to change the icon and the company name.

Further info: These boxes are somehow linked on each page in the document. A change in one changes all on all pages. Makes me think that these are special kinds of text boxes. Just don't understand them or how I got them there. Tom > There is "ALT" text under the Picture formatting dialog. > What version of Pub are you using?

Two of the fields in this Personal Information are Organization name and Tag line or motto. Then if you used the option to duplicate all objects on a page, when you added a page, these fields show up on each page you add, and any changes to the Tag line, or Organization field is propagated through out each page. You can return to the Web Site Wizard to change the Personal Information. In fact if you select the Organization and Logo object on your page, you might see a little wizard wand or just go to Edit > Personal Information.

[quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > > > > > > Tom Hi David, I think you hit it. It makes sense that the Tag Line and the Organization Name text boxes are associated with Personal Information. An interesting question is how I got them in the state they are in my document. I do see how copying them from page to page makes them similar in showing changes to one. What I don't understand is how I created them in the first place. When I look in Edit>Personal Information I do NOT see the content of the text boxes in the fields in the window displayed. This includes all of the information sets that are available. It looks like somehow I may have broken up a logo and, in the process, kept the association of the text boxes to the personal information (tag and org), but can't see the information in any personal information set. Must be one of those undocumented features ;) Now I'm kinda stuck. On the one side I like having text boxes on each page that act like a header, meaning that they replicate content on any page that has them. Does Publisher 2003 have any feature like this or have I stumbled onto a way to make it happen? My concern is that the use of text boxes designed for other purposes may come back to bite me some time in the future.

So, it appears that you can edit the text in these boxes and move them all over a document and they will replicate changes made directly to any of the similar text boxes. And, if you Update personal information, all the text in all the boxes is updated simultaneously. Still not sure how they got there in the first place. > Tom, > [quoted text clipped - 46 lines] > > > > > > > > Tom Tom, It sounds like you are figuring it out, but this is one of those times you should go to Publisher help, and look at all the articles listed under 'Personal Information'. They will show you how you can use this feature better than I can describe it. One reason...I don't use that feature...I don't like automatic anything, but that's me. Also look under the term 'Synchronization'...which is what is going on with the Personal Information. I'm betting by the time you finish that 'home work' you will be ready to pass the test. ;-) As to how it got there...you started with a template, and they have those page elements on them by default. They will show up even if you never fill in all the fields under your 'Personal Information'. I think you will find through your homework ways of inserting them into your document as desired...
