MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / April 2008pix are posting to all pages
when I download a pix for one page it shows on all pages in the website. Still in the design stage and haven't published it. It happens regardless of the source of the picture. Same thing happened before with a copied text box. Couldn't tell you how that was resolved, but hasn't happened since, Magic? Need more of that magic with the problem with the picture. Thanks are you using a master page?...dont.

Thanks If you don't know what it is, then you probably aren't using one, but go to View > Master page. If that is where the pictures are, they will show on all pages. Have you tried saving your images to your hard drive, and then inserting them into your Pub pages instead of copy and pasting? Also consider the following from Publisher help: Automatically synchronize formatting: 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. For example, if you change the color of one shape in an Accessory Bar that you insert from the Design Gallery, all of the related shapes in that Accessory Bar will be updated with the same color automatically. Turn off formatting synchronization: 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. DavidF > Thanks Crash-Not sure what you mean by master page.

Thanks David, been trying to thank you for your help and tell you what has happened since for 3 days now. Every time I hit post the this page closes and open with page can't be found blah blah. Sending out short message so you don't think I'm rude. try to post again with more about the problem. > If you don't know what it is, then you probably aren't using one, but go to > View > Master page.

Thanks for your answer. Didn't help but sent me in a direction. My edit menu doesn't show formatting synchronization. Went to masterpage menu to see what I had. Showed a master page, checked and it was blank. Then I decided to add a new page to see what it looked like.The new page had distorted elements of the pages I made. I noticed that I could "ignore master page" did that with a new page to replace the page I was having trouble with. I copied elements from the old page to the new one by one to see if it created any problems. It didn't until I got the area the problem picture was. Did not matter where the picture came from it posted to every other page. But if it placed the picture outside of the area I want it to be it stays on the page. If I take a picture from another area on that page and place in the "trouble area" it shows up on the other pages. Best analogy is that "area" is like a "worm hole" to the other pages. So, I pulled all the elements of the page apart to see if it was grouped to something that was causing the problem then played with the layer buttons to see if something was hidden. Nothing!! In an act of desperation, and treating it as if it was a "hole", I put a blank text box over the area, then put the picture over that. It worked!!! Now I need to know WHY? And WHY ME? > If you don't know what it is, then you probably aren't using one, but go to > View > Master page.

Thanks Which version of Publisher are you using? When you move an image into the "trouble area" and while that image is still selected, then can you go to edit and Undo Synchronize? Where is the "trouble area" on your page? This might be associated with the "professional information". Can you select the image when it is in the "trouble area" and go to Arrange and "ungroup"? Try it again, and make sure that you "ungroup" until you no longer have the option. It may tell you that it is ungrouping from a wizard, in which case say yes. After trying this experiment, and if it doesn't work after doing a web page preview you can Edit > undo or simply close the file without saving the changes. What happens if you open a new blank web page and copy your design elements over to that? And by the way, it sounds like you are using the web page forum version of the newsgroup. If you want a more satisfactory, faster and easier way, access the newsgroup through NNTP.

Thanks Thank you David, Using 2007, trouble area is in middle 3rd of page. Edit menu shows no toggle for synchronize. Did everything you suggested copied to new page,checked grouping for every element, none were grouped. Even checked layers of elements just in case. Nothing helped. Out desperation, I treated it like a "hole", covered it with a blank text box and posted the picture. That fixed it. Shows fine on web page preview. Any idea why this happened? There were 7 other pictures on the page on the same background 4 on each side of the page the trouble picture was 2nd down on right side. Jack > Which version of Publisher are you using?

Thanks Jack, Sorry, but I don't know what is going on. Did you start with a particular template? Did you try opening a new blank webpage and copy and pasting your material over? Glad you figured out a workaround, but at this point I don't know what else to suggest. Do get back to me about the template that you used....or... If you really want to take it to another level, then make a copy of your Publisher file, delete all the pages except the problem page, and send the file to yourself via YouSendIt. Then when you get the link from Yousendit, post it so I and others can download your file and experiment with it. YouSendIt is a freebie: http://www.yousendit.com/ And you do not have to sign up to use it. I have used it a lot to send large files.

Thanks sounds like an dynamic web template, but dunno how you'd do one in publisher unless he's modifying a template designed for something else like frontpage, EW, or DW. Signature~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Rob Giordano Microsoft MVP Expression | Jack, | [quoted text clipped - 159 lines] | >> >> >> Magic? | >> >> >> | Need more of that magic with the problem with the picture. Thanks Thank you both for responding, The only time I knowingly used a template was when I first played with web design. And all I did with it was take it apart to understand the components of a web page " reversed engineered?" When I started the web site I started fresh "new publication" and used a blank page and went from there. After I designed the overall look of the page, I copied and pasted the elements to the next pages until I learned about grouping. I cannot tell what page I started doing this at. I got 16 pages done with some text and pictures and when I went back to do some tweeking is when I had this problem. I did have this problem once before with a text box but don't know how it was resolved. Also after I posted here and you suggested I check the use of a master page I clicked the "ignore master page" button for every page, just in case. David, I did just what you suggested(new page-copy and paste) before I came up with the unorthidox solution of putting the picture over a blank text box. I'll try to use the U send it link. Thanks again Jack > sounds like an dynamic web template, but dunno how you'd do one in publisher > unless he's modifying a template designed for something else like frontpage, [quoted text clipped - 185 lines] > | >> >> >> | Need more of that magic with the problem with the picture. > Thanks Gentlemen, here's the page I was having trouble with and I put a caption under the trouble spot. I did accidently upload the whole file to yousendit so if that is usefull later, I'll post that link. Please note this is the version with the repair. While writing this I went back to the original page and removed the blank text box to see what would happen and the picture did not show on the other pages. So I don't know what to say. This is like taking your car to a mechanic and have the problem go away as you drive in the bay. I hope I didn't waste your time but your help has taught me immensely on many levels.

Tried to put a logo in the header and it posted to all the pages. Checked grouping, nothing was grouped. Then posted pix in the body of page, it happened. But some pix did it, some didn't, even from the same source. Also didn't matter what page they were posted to.

If you do that you will notice several things, and most applicable is that your page is setup as 760 pixels wide, but your content including the green text box is 992 pixels wide. It overhangs into the scratch area off the page. I am surprised you haven't had more problems, let alone the one you did. If you really want a page almost this wide, I would suggest that you use the default 984 pixels width. Go to File > Page Set up, and change the width to 984. Then resize the text boxes and all the content so that it fits on the working page and does not extend over into the scratch area. Go to Arrange > Snap To and make sure all three options are checked. That way when you move design elements around they are more likely to snap to the edge of the page, but not overlap. But before you resize and layout your page again, I would also get rid of green text box that you have created for a background. Delete it, and instead go to Format > Background and click on the green color background to the whole page. Don't worry about your page being too long. Publisher will truncate the page after the last design element on the page when you Publish to the Web. Do a web page preview to see what I am talking about. And the other most obvious problem I saw was the you images are not proportional. When you run the Design Checker click on one of the "Picture is not scaled proportionally" items, then mouseover the downward chevron and either run the fix it option, or better yet, click Explain, and that will give you your options. Bottom line if you publish your page this way the pictures will be distorted. If you select a picture, go to Format > Picture in general you should have the aspect ratio locked. But don't do this until you fix the images. You can click on Relative to original picture size and you will then be able to change the height and/or the width so that the 100% scale is the same. Then lock the aspect ratio. And before you actually do publish to the web, be sure to use the compress graphics feature. Once again do this only after you fix the aspect ratio of the images. Had you done that before you uploaded your Publisher file it would have been reduced from 17 megs to 223 KB. Would have save me a loooooong download at 5 minutes per meg. I believe that resizing your page and moving all the content onto the page and out of the scratch area will probably fix your reoccurring image. If it doesn't post back and I'll look again. But the content in the scratch area is so fundamental, that it has to be fixed. DavidF > Gentlemen, here's the page I was having trouble with and I put a caption > under the trouble spot.

Sorry I took up so much of your time with this. But with every post you made I did learn alot. Again thank you for your help.

[quoted text clipped - 105 lines] > > | > >> Magic? > > | > >> | Need more of that magic with the problem with the picture. Thanks Jack, No problem...twas my own fault for assuming that you had run the Design Checker. In fact, it was a learning experience for me too, so thanks for going to the trouble of sending the file. I was stumped until I saw it. I presume that moving everything onto the page and out of the scratch area did fix the problem? DavidF > David, I was afraid it would be something basic.
