Hello Everyone,

Is there a way to copy a page from one 2007 publisher document (with all the txt boxes, pictures and formatting) and add that page into another 2007 publisher document?

Thanks to all who reply,

Ismael

    It worked! Except it gave me 1.25 spacing between lines instead of 1.0. Usually when I try to do this I have to resize everything and the line spacing is all off.  Is there a place to go to make that 1.0 be the default spacing between lines?  Once I highlighted each text box after I pasted it into its new page in another Publisher document I could then change each text box back to 1.0.  There has to be a way to set this so that before typing anything into a text box it will be 1.0 not 1.25.

    My next problem to try to find answers to is regarding putting pictures or clip art into a Publisher 2007 document with it messing up my lines of type.  It just throws everything off when the picture arrives in the document.  Real nightmare when trying to add some graphics to an Invoice  I create.

    Thank you for the reply on the copying from one document to another in Publisher.

    Don't you have to have a text box created that is the same size as the page you as copy from so that page will fit?

    ===================================

    If you group everything on a page / copy it and

    paste it onto a new publication page...a textbox

    is not required. The objects you copied will paste

    the same size as the original. Pressing Ctrl+V

    will paste the contents of the clipboard.

    You can open two or more instances of Publisher

    and copy / paste from one to the other.

    Hi,  This is a year late more or less, but here is how to do it in MS Pub 2010:

    Open source publication

    Select the entire page (click on the file desktop, then ctrl + A)

    On the insert tab, select Page Parts and then Add Selection to Page Parts Gallery

    Close source publication

    Open target publication

    Create a blank page (right click on existing page in navigation pane and insert blank page)

    Open Page Parts on the Insert Tab and select the source page part you created

    A small box will appear next to the page asking which color scheme you want to apply.

    Voila! Cloned page with formatting in place

    Note: the clone will be grouped; you will need to ungroup to manipulate the page contents

    Note: this will probably only work if the source and target pages are the exact same size.

    Worked Like a Charm!!!!

    It worked very well, and I was able to do this without closing the original publication (source publication/file and then opening the target publication - mind you I was running a dual screen setup with the original publication on one screen and the target publication on the other screen).  My pictures, text, and table all moved over perfectly the way I wanted it to.  I did make sure the source and target pages were the same sizes (on the 'Page Design' tab, I made sure the 'Margins' were the same for both publications pages).

    Thanks for this GREAT tip, it will now make my job easier to add/insert pages form one publication to another publication.

    Have a Great Day.
