MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / May 2007SHow do I shut off auto synchronization permanently?
Publisher 2003/. Auto synchronization is almost the most irritating thing in the program. Anyone know how I can turn it off permanently? Thanks! From Help: "When you create a publication from a Publisher wizard or by using Publisher Design Gallery Objects, the individual objects that make up that publication are synchronized. This synchronization means that any formatting changes that you apply to an individual element within an object will automatically apply to the similar elements in that object." "If Publisher applies a formatting change that you make to one element in an object to all of the similar elements in an object, you can turn off the synchronization and limit the change to the element that you initially selected. On Edit menu, click Undo Synchronize. " Or in other words, you can undo synchronization on a case by case basis, or you can choose to not use the wizards that have this built-in function. DavidF > Publisher 2003/. > Auto synchronization is almost the most irritating thing in the program. > Anyone know how I can turn it off permanently? Thanks! Sorry, That doesn't answer my question. I want to shut off synchronization permanently. This means the program never automatically synchronizes anything. That synchronization no longer exists when I am working on a particular project. Ever since starting Publisher in 1997 I have never had a need for auto synchronization. It is an irritating, glitch in the program that could be potentially disastrous to my productivity. I need to shut it off.

Sorry, but it did answer your question. Maybe it just wasn't the answer you wanted to hear. As per my last sentence "Or in other words, you can undo synchronization on a case by case basis, or you can choose to not use the wizards that have this built-in function". If you don't want synchronization, then don't use the wizards. If you use the wizards, then you can only turn it off on a case by case basis...not permanently. It is not a glitch...it is an tool/function/feature that was not available in Pub 97. If don't like the synchronization wizard tool, then don't use it. If you have a text box that is synchronized, then create a different text box manually and use it instead. If you have an image box that is synchronized, then create a different image box and use it instead. DavidF > Sorry, That doesn't answer my question. I want to shut off synchronization > permanently.

I have used every version of Publisher since 1997. And, I did create new boxes. I didn't use the wizard, but I used the templates. I have talked to dozens of people that have the same problem and they all say the same thing. Synchronization is a glitch and MS just never fixed it. > Sorry, but it did answer your question.

Your question has been answered. The synchronization wizard is a built-in feature in many of the templates that you can undo on a case by case basis, not permanently. If you want to call it a glitch, then whatever floats your boat. I am not interested in arguing semantics. DavidF >I have used every version of Publisher since 1997. And, I did create new > boxes.
