MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / February 2006When resizing columns, how do I not get initial column imprints?
The initial column side stays when i try and resize columns, how can I get rid of it? I haven't a clue what you are trying to convey. Is this a table? Select the column, on the menu select table, delete column.

I am in Microsoft Publisher 2003. I am no trying to delete the column. I am trying to adjust the size of the column. I hit shift and use the crosshairs to adjust the size of the column, but the initial outline of the column stays there even after I rsize the column. .. > I haven't a clue what you are trying to convey.

Look in the control panel, Accessibility Options folder, display tab, clear high contrast. If this isn't your solution look into updating your video/graphics driver.

This is a brand new computer. Keep reading the group. You will find it has been posted more times than I have time to count that JUST BECAUSE YOUR COMPUTER IS BRAND NEW, IT DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU HAVE THE LATEST DRIVERS. Please feel free to read an old response of mine. The computer is mass-produced on a production line. The hard drive is filled with data from a master disk, and that master disk does not change often. Every time it changes, they have to go through a long testing procedure to make sure it works - which they don't like to do very often. They cannot afford the time or money to change it every time a new driver comes out (each piece of hardware in the system has a driver, and new ones are being developed all the time). Also, even if they did this, if a new driver were released after the machine left the factory but before you bought it, (which, given the amount of time the machine will sit on a shelf before you buy it, is quite likely), you would not have the latest drivers on your brand new machine. SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher What does your having to count how many times this has been posted have to do with this? The statement you just sent me about the mass production is the first time I have seen it. I went back to your other reponses and they are very short responses. Nowhere was anything even close to this on my response list. I was told this was a good forum from people who could give you the answer yoou need. unfortunately, you and mary sauer both seem to be very short today. I am shocked and saddened you woould act like this. you are here to help and puttting responses in CAPS, and using a sarcastic attitude defies description. Believe it or not, some people don't know as much as you both do. I neglected to put the face that i was in Publisher on the first e-mails, which I apologize for. But your and Mary's rsponses have gone striaght south since then. > > The high contrast is not clicked on.

Hello, I am sorry we sounded short. Your first post was so ambiguous it was difficult to understand what you are trying to do. The video driver is something you should think about, especially if you play games and do other high graphic things. You are seeing shadowing on your screen because of a video problem, this is why I thought maybe you had high contrast enabled. I have a brand new computer also and believe or not I have had to upgrade the audio driver and the video driver. We are here to help, we just need more details.

The statement you just sent me about the mass production is the [quoted text clipped - 30 lines] >> the machine will sit on a shelf before you buy it, is quite likely), you >> would not have the latest drivers on your brand new machine. I have learned not to argue about the need to upgrade a video driver regardless how new your computer is. Going back about eight years, this has been the standard response (to give you an idea, I saw the same messages and replies from someone who was using Publisher 98 - but it was posted in 2002). I have no idea why Pub is like it is and it does seem odd that a program tested and released three years ago would need a driver released within the last year, but it is how the program works. If nothing else, see if your driver is the latest. If it it, then that eliminates one possible cause. Mike > What does your having to count how many times this has been posted have to do > with this?

Mike Koewler <wordwiz@fuse.net> was very recently heard to utter: > it does seem odd that a program tested and released three years ago > would need a driver released within the last year Mainly because cards have been released since Publisher was released, the initial drivers are not mature and don't support the calls that Publisher makes, etc. The older cards are the most likely to work with Publisher, as far as I can tell (within reason). SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher > What does your having to count how many times this has been posted > have to do with this? Absolutely nothing. > I was told this was > a good forum from people who could give you the answer yoou need. In that case, why did you choose to ignore our advice and claim that you knew better? > unfortunately, you and mary sauer both seem to be very short today. We're human. We're not paid to be here. We do other things with the rest of our lives. We have good days and bad days. We're not machines. > I > am shocked and saddened you woould act like this. you are here to > help and puttting responses in CAPS, and using a sarcastic attitude > defies description. Actually, you just described it pretty well, and as such it doesn't defy description. Although I wouldn't describe my response as sarcastic. Just blunt, perhaps a little condescending (sp?). > Believe it or not, some people don't know as much > as you both do. In that case, why did you not actually believe me and look for a new video driver rather than claim that you knew best? Anyway, I'm sure you have more expertise than me in many areas. We just have different specialisations. > I neglected to put the face that i was in Publisher > on the first e-mails, which I apologize for. But your and Mary's > rsponses have gone striaght south since then. Yes, of course they have. If you don't want my help, please feel free to say, and I will STFU. Until then, I will continue asking questions in a manner I see fit, hopefully whilst getting answers from you that will help me to answer your problem. If you don't like the service you get for free here, you could always pay for MS tech support. SignatureEd Bennett > What does your having to count how many times this has been posted have to do > with this? Everything, actually. You posted it was a brand new machine, ergo you assumed it had the latest drivers. Ed has been banging on about this *for years*. The statement you just sent me about the mass production is the > first time I have seen it. I went back to your other reponses What - every reply Ed has ever posted, ever? In that case you would have seen that he's posted ad infinitum et ad nauseam on the topic. and they are > very short responses. Nowhere was anything even close to this on my response > list. But you just said you'd searched all Ed's responses. So you lied about that, then? I was told this was a good forum from people who could give you the > answer yoou need. It isn't a forum, it's a Usenet newsgroup. Learn the difference. And it is, it's just we don't like whiners. > unfortunately, you and mary sauer both seem to be very short today. Maybe that's because dealing with you is like having a tooth pulled - sans anaesthetic. I am shocked and saddened you would act like this. you are here to help and > puttting responses in CAPS, and using a sarcastic attitude defies > description. Maybe you should ask yourself why Ed felt the need to do that? Something to do with you, perhaps...? Maybe he was more than a little irritated with you. I think it's your attitude that "defies description". Believe it or not, some people don't know as much as you both > do. Not a difficult feat in your case. I neglected to put the face that i was in Publisher on the first e-mails What emails? This is Usenet, not email. Learn the difference. , > which I apologize for. But your and Mary's rsponses have gone striaght south > since then. Whine, whine, whine, moan, moan, moan, yadda, yadda, yadda. If you don't like it, then take it somewhere else. I think Mary and Ed were becoming just a little frustrated with your attitude. > I am in Microsoft Publisher 2003. I am no trying to > delete the column.

Try reducing your Graphics Hardware Acceleration and see if there is an improvement. If the problem improves...go to the website of your video adapter's mfg. and search for an updated driver.
