Installation tips and troubleshooting

If you're having trouble installing Publisher, this section contains tips that may help solve the problem.

You think your floppy disks or compact disc may be bad or damaged

There is not enough space on your computer's hard disk to install Publisher

You are having trouble with the Setup program and your computer is using virus protection software

The Setup program will not let you install Publisher to a root directory, such as C:\ or D:\

Setup takes a long time

Setup prompts you to insert a Windows disk or compact disc

Setup turns off your screen saver

Do NOT check Publisher disks for viruses

Check your hard disk for viruses before running Setup

Directories with extended characters


You think your floppy disks or compact disc may be bad or damaged

To check whether a floppy disk is damaged

1	Insert the disk you into your floppy disk drive.

2	On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button and point to Programs.

3	Click Windows Explorer.

4	Click the drive your floppy disk is in, and then select the file(s) listed.

To select all of the files listed, click the first file, hold down the SHIFT key, and then press the END key.

5	On the Edit menu, click Copy.

6	In the Explorer window, click the Windows directory.

7	With the right mouse button, click the Temp directory, and then click Paste.

8	Check to see if the files were copied into your Temp directory. If they are not there, or if you get an error message while copying, you may have a damaged disk.

To order another set of disks, call the Microsoft Order Desk at (800) 360-7561 between 7:00 A.M. and midnight Eastern time, Monday through Friday.

To check whether a compact disc is damaged

If you get error messages while trying to install Publisher or to read files from your compact disc, please check the back of the disc for marks or smudges. These may prevent the laser from correctly reading your disc.

•	Try cleaning the disc, following the directions given by the manufacturer of your CD-ROM drive. Then insert the CD into the drive again.

If this doesn’t solve the problem, or if you notice large scratches or marks on the disc, you may have a damaged disc. To order another compact disc, call the Microsoft Order Desk at (800) 360-7561 between 7:00 A.M. and midnight Eastern time, Monday through Friday.


There is not enough space on your computer's hard disk to install Publisher

If there is not enough space on the drive where you want Publisher installed, you'll need to either make room on that drive, or choose another, before trying to install Publisher again. If you've made these changes and you still can't complete the installation, check to see if one of the following is the problem:

There isn’t enough space on your hard disk to run Setup

You will need at least 2 MB of space on your main hard disk (usually C:) to run Setup, in addition to the space required to install Publisher, even if you are installing Publisher on a different drive.

There may not be enough space on the drive that contains Windows

If there is enough space on the drive where you want Publisher installed, there may not be enough space on the drive that contains Windows. You will need to free at least 7 MB of space on the drive that contains Windows for the Setup program to install ALL of the Publisher utility and system files. You'll need less if you don't want to install the text converters, the fonts, the graphic filters, the speller, the Setup files, mail merge components, or Microsoft Draw.


You are having trouble with the Setup program and your computer is using virus protection software

Publisher's Setup program will not install Publisher to a machine with virus protection turned on. In order to successfully install Publisher, you need to remove the virus protection software from memory.

To remove the virus protection software from memory

1	Restart your computer.

2	Disable your virus protection software. See your virus protection software manual for instructions.

3	Restart your computer again.

4	Run the Setup program again.

5	After Setup has completed, turn on your virus protection software again. See your virus protection software manual for instructions.


The Setup program will not let you install Publisher to a root directory, such as C:\ or D:\

Microsoft Publisher will not install to the root directory of a hard disk. Publisher must be installed in a subdirectory. This is to prevent you from overloading the root directory on your computer.


Setup takes a long time

Although the setup process may be taking a long time, there isn’t necessarily a problem. As long as there is occasional movement of the setup progress bar, Setup is probably working correctly.

The setup process is complex, and the large number of files included in the Publisher package, such as fonts and clip art, may require 15 minutes or longer to install, depending on the type of computer.


Setup prompts you to insert a Windows disk or compact disc

While running the Setup program for Microsoft Publisher 97, you may see the following message:

“Publisher 97’s Outside Printing feature helps you create publications that will print well at commercial printers and service bureaus. In order to install this feature, Setup requires files from your Microsoft Windows disks or network installation share. Do you want Publisher Setup to install this feature?”

If you choose Yes, Publisher will ask you to insert one of your Windows disks or the Windows compact disc. Publisher then installs two PostScript printer drivers that you may need if you want to use a commercial printing service.


Setup turns off your screen saver

Screen-saver software can interfere with the setup process, so Setup automatically turns off your screen saver while installing Microsoft Publisher. Setup will restart your screen saver after installing Publisher. If your screen saver does not start automatically, you can restart it manually after Setup is finished.


Do NOT check Publisher disks for viruses

Your Publisher floppy disks have already been checked for viruses by Microsoft. Do not check them for viruses yourself. Virus-checking software can corrupt the disks and prevent you from successfully installing Publisher.


Check your hard disk for viruses before running Setup

We recommend that you check your hard disk for possible virus software before installing Microsoft Publisher. A virus on your hard disk can prevent a successful installation of Publisher.


Directories with extended characters

Microsoft Publisher does not recognize directories with extended characters such as accent marks. When naming directories, you may use the letters A-Z, the numbers 0-9, and spaces.


Converting previous WordArt objects to WordArt 3.0

Publisher 97 includes WordArt 3.0. Publisher automatically converts WordArt 2.0 objects to WordArt 3.0 objects.

If you want to take advantage of new WordArt features with WordArt 1.0 objects, you'll need to convert WordArt 1.0 objects to WordArt 3.0. If you want keep your WordArt 1.0 objects the way they are, that's fine. Publisher will continue to use WordArt 1.0 for the objects you've already created.

To convert WordArt 1.0 objects to WordArt 3.0

1	Open the publication containing the old WordArt objects you want to convert.

2	Select a WordArt object to convert. You'll need to convert WordArt objects one at a time.

3	On the Edit menu, click Microsoft WordArt Object. Publisher displays a second menu of commands.

4	Click Convert.

5	Under Object Type, click Microsoft WordArt 3.0.

6	Click OK.

Notes

•	If you convert an object from WordArt 1.0 to WordArt 3.0, you will not be able to convert it back.

•	If you want to use WordArt 1.0 in Publisher 97, click Insert Object on the Edit menu, click Microsoft WordArt, and click OK.


Importing files from Ami Pro or Word Pro for Windows

If you have a file created in Ami Pro or Word Pro for Windows, you must save it in Rich Text Format (RTF), and then import it into your publication.

To save your Ami Pro or Word Pro document as an RTF file

1	In Ami Pro or Word Pro, open the file you wish to convert.

2	From the File menu, choose Save As. Ami Pro or Word Pro displays the Save As dialog box.

3	In the List Files Of Type box, choose RTF (Rich Text Format).

4	In the File Name box, type the new name. Make sure it is not the same name as the file you opened. For example, if you opened README.SAM, save the file as README.RTF.

5	Click OK.

6	You can now import the file into your publication.


Clip Art license

Photo images used in this product are supplied by PhotoDisc, Inc. ©1996.

You are free to use Publisher's clip art or digitized stock photo images for any publication that you print or for any Web site (electronic document) that you create. You may not, however, sell or distribute Publisher clip art electronically as software, such as in a clip art library.


File previews and ways to save time and disk space

Publisher helps you identify files by saving a preview image with the file. However, it takes time and disk space to generate this image each time you save the file. If you are concerned about saving time or disk space, and you are willing to do without the file preview, you can tell Publisher not to save the preview with the file.

To turn file previews on or off

1	Open the file you want to save.

2	On the File menu, click Save As.

3	Click the Save Preview box to remove the check mark.

4	Click OK to save the file.

5	If Publisher asks if you want to overwrite the existing file, click Yes.

Note

•	This setting automatically applies to all Publisher files. Therefore, if you save a publication without a preview and then save another publication, Publisher will not save a preview of the second, either.


Working with links to files created in other programs

These procedures apply only to links to files created in other programs.

To cancel a link

1	In Publisher, click the linked object to select it.

2	On the Edit menu, click Cut.

3	On the Edit menu, click Paste Special. Publisher displays the Paste Special dialog box.

4	In the As box, click Picture, and then click OK.

To replace an existing link with a different link

1	Switch to the application in which the file you want to link to was created.

2	Open the file you want to link to.

3	Select the information you want to link to.

4	From the application's Edit menu, choose Copy.

5	Switch to Publisher.

6	Click the object whose link you want to replace.

7	On the Publisher Edit menu, click Paste Special. Publisher displays the Paste Special dialog box.

8	Click Paste Link, and then click OK. Publisher replaces the existing linked object with a link to the file you chose.


If you have problems using WordArt or the Clip Gallery

If you’re having difficulty adding WordArt or a Clip Gallery image to your publication, try this procedure:

WordArt

1	In the Explorer or File Manager, search for WRDART32.EXE.

2	In the Search Results window, double-click WRDART32.EXE.
A message will explain that WordArt can only be run from another application.

3	Click OK.

This will register WordArt so that applications can find it.

Clip Gallery

•	Follow the procedure above, but search for and double-click ARTGALRY.EXE in steps 1 and 2.


If you have problems running a PageWizard design assistant

If you try to run one of the Publisher 97 PageWizard design assistants or Quick Demos, or the Introduction to Publisher, and you receive the error message “Cannot load custom control dll - C:\Windows\System\mspubgxf.vbx,” you may be missing a dynamic link library (.dll) file, or it may be corrupted.

For the Publisher PageWizards to run correctly, the following files must be in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory:

Compobj.dll

Ole2.dll

Ole2disp.dll

Ole2nls.dll

Olethk32.dll

Windows keeps backup copies of these files in the \WINDOWS\SYSBCKUP directory. Try copying these files from that directory into your system directory. If that does not resolve the problem, you’ll need to reinstall Windows.


If you have problems printing on your desktop printer

Many different printing problems can be caused by outdated printer drivers. To be sure you’re using the correct type and version for your printer, consult your printer manual or contact your printer manufacturer. If you have access to the Internet, you may want to contact your printer manufacturer through the World Wide Web. Many printer manufacturers provide updated drivers on the Web.

Matching printed color to screen color

You will find that the colors in printed publications don’t always match the colors you see on your screen. This is caused by the differences in the way that color monitors and color printers work.

On your monitor, the colors you see are made by mixing red, green, and blue glowing dots. Creating colors in this way is called additive mixing. In additive mixing, red, green, and blue can be used to create any color of light, including white.

On your printer, the colors you see are made by mixing various proportions of cyan, magenta, yellow (and sometimes black) inks. This is called subtractive mixing. In subtractive mixing, cyan, magenta, and yellow can be used to create any color of paint; if you mix equal amounts of them, you get black.

When you fill an object in a publication with aqua (the term Publisher uses for cyan), that color is made by mixing equal portions of green and blue light. Because the human eye is especially sensitive to blue and green light, this color appears very bright. When you print this object, it is colored with pure cyan ink. When you look at this object on the printed page, however, you are actually seeing white light reflecting off of cyan ink. This makes the ink look less intense than the light coming from your monitor.


If you open a publication from a network and then can’t save it

If you open a publication from a network drive and the network server fails, or the network drive is disconnected, you may receive the following error message when you try to save the publication:

“Publisher cannot create a temporary working file.”

This error message may be repeated, and followed by one or more error messages about the disk being full. Once you have received these messages, the only way to save any changes you’ve made is to copy the changed pages into a new publication, close the old publication, reopen it, and then copy the changed pages back in.

1	In your publication, turn to a page that you have changed.

2	On the Edit menu, click Select All.

3	On the Edit menu, click Copy.

4	Start a new session of Publisher, without closing the one you already have open.

5	In the new session of Publisher, click Paste on the Edit menu.

6	Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 for each changed page, and then paste the contents of each page onto a new page in the second session of Publisher.

7	Save the new publication.

8	Exit the old publication without saving your changes.

9	Reopen the old publication, and copy into it the changed pages from the new publication.


What Publisher files do—and which files are optional

This section lists the directories that Publisher creates on your computer. Under each directory name is a list of the files stored in that directory, a brief description of each file, and one of the following letter codes:

N: Necessary for Publisher to run. Deleting these files will result in Publisher not being able to run.

R: Recommended. Provides additional functionality for Publisher. Deleting these files will render some features of Microsoft Publisher non-functional.

O: Optional. Deleting these files will not cause any adverse effects.

Note

•	If you delete any files and later want to replace them, use your original Publisher disks to run the Setup program and reinstall Publisher.

If you can’t find the Special Paper command

Due to limited availability of PaperDirect paper outside the United States, the Special Paper feature is not available in all versions of Publisher sold outside the United States and Canada.


If you have problems using scanners and imaging hardware with Publisher

Publisher communicates with scanners and other imaging hardware by using a software component called TWAIN.

If your scanner does not work with this release of Publisher, you can probably solve the problem by obtaining an updated set of the TWAIN software components. To obtain a new version of TWAIN:

•	Contact the manufacturer of your scanner. Your scanner manufacturer will have current information on how to solve problems with the scanner and TWAIN.

If you have access to CompuServe or FTP, you can obtain new TWAIN software over your modem.

•	On CompuServe, type GO HPPERIPH to access the Hewlett Packard Peripherals forum, and look in the TWAIN section for new releases of TWAIN.

•	On FTP, use anonymous FTP to ftp:caere.com//pub/twain.

If neither of the above solutions works, contact Microsoft Technical Support. For information on contacting Microsoft Product Support Services, see the file MSPUBPSS.HLP in the Publisher directory on your computer.

For more information on TWAIN, see “The Publisher Companion.”


If you’re planning to have your Publisher files printed by a professional printer or service bureau

Files created in Microsoft Publisher 97 or Publisher for Windows 95 can be printed by almost any professional printer or service bureau. The printer does not need to have Publisher installed. To work with a printer who does not have Publisher, you create a PostScript file that can be printed from either Macintosh or PC equipment. Publisher can also create spot-color separations for high-quality, low-cost color printing.

If you’ve never worked with a professional printer before, we recommend you read the “Printing” chapter in “The Publisher Companion” first. It can save you time and money, and help you get the results you want.

Keyboard layouts for single-handed users

Microsoft distributes Dvorak keyboard layouts that make the most frequently typed characters on a keyboard more accessible to people who have difficulty using the standard "QWERTY" layout. There are three Dvorak layouts: one for two-handed users, one for people who type with their left hand only, and one for people who type with their right hand only. The left-handed or right-handed keyboard layouts can also be used by people who type with a single finger or a wand. You do not need to purchase any special equipment in order to use these features.

Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Windows NT already support the two-handed Dvorak layout, which can be useful for coping with or avoiding types of repetitive-motion injuries associated with typing. To get this layout use the Windows Control Panel; consult your online documentation for detailed instructions. The two layouts for people who type with one hand are distributed as Microsoft Application Note GA0650. It is also contained in file GA0650.EXE on most network services and on the Microsoft Download Service.

For instructions on ordering this application note, see Obtaining Access Packs, Application Notes, and alternative keyboard layouts.

Customizing Windows or Windows NT

There are many ways you can customize Windows or Windows NT to make your computer more accessible.

Beginning with Windows 95, accessibility features are built into Windows. These features are useful for individuals who have difficulty typing or using a mouse, have moderately impaired vision, or who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. The features can be installed during setup, or you can add them later from your Windows 95 installation disks. Look up “accessibility” in the Windows Help Index for information about installing and using these features

Many of the features which make Windows 95 more accessible can be added to Windows NT through Access Packs. You can download these files by modem, or you can order them on disk from Microsoft.

You can also use the Control Panel and other built-in features to adjust the appearance and behavior of Windows or Windows NT to suit varying vision and motor abilities. These options include adjusting colors and sizes, sound volume, and the behavior of the mouse and keyboard.

Dvorak keyboard layouts make the most frequently typed characters on a keyboard more accessible if you have difficulty using the standard “QWERTY” layout. There are three Dvorak layouts: one if you are a two-handed user, one if you type with your left hand only, and one if you type with your right hand only. You do not need to purchase any special equipment to use these features.

For full documentation on the accessibility features available in the operating system you are using, obtain the appropriate application notes listed below. Accessibility features are also documented in the Microsoft Windows 95 Resource Kit and the Microsoft Windows NT Resource Kit.
