MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / May 2008Copy and Paste.
Hello Folks, Hope you are all well. What I have tried to do is select every object on a page and paste it into a new publication. Sounds simple? However, when I try to do this on a page which has a table in it and then try to paste that, the size of the table goes haywire. It then becomes a manual task again to have to resize it / put text back to where it belongs etc. Please can someone tell me why this is happening and if there is a way to fix to make it a simple copy and paste. Am using Win Xp and Publisher 03. Your help is and always has been very much appreciated. Thanking you in anticipation. <-><-><-><-> Big Rick Is that a file you can share with me? I'd like to see if I can duplicate the issue.

However, if you select everything on your original table and group it, you can copy and paste it into your target publication. That seems to maintain the size you need to fit on your page.

[quoted text clipped - 31 lines] >> > <-><-><-><-> >> > Big Rick Hello JoAnn The grouping suggestion did work. I thought it was going to be a *whole* load of extra work. Some of the tables are a lot more complex than the one I sent you. Many thanks for your time and effort. It really is appreciated. <-><-><-><-> Big Rick > Okay............I was able to duplicate the problem. Publisher just isn't as > "table-friendly" as I'd like.

Select the seven simple tables on a sheet, group them, paste to a new publication, save publication. Every seems ok. Then open that new publication and the tables are haywire again. I think even you is going to find this one a bit of a challenge! (I wont bore you with the small detail that when i did this on a more complex table, the even the original suggestion doesn't work!) Hoping you can help me a little bit further.

I have used tables I created in the nineties and they copy/paste correctly. I tried your test, seven small tables, they also copied/pasted correctly without having to resize or do text correction. Are you using a standard font?

I would very much doubt it however. JoAnn's could be observing a paper change. Your default is A4 where her default is probably Letter. Objects would appear to be in a different place on the screen if the stock size didn't match. This could be your issue too.

The tabs were off but not by a lot.
