How to change publisher one page tile default

I have to agree with PartickofLondon it is so frustrating to have a default as TILED - it's nothing to do with the printer set up - IT'S THE DEEFAULT SETTING IN PUBLISHER - which bit of this statement do Microsoft NOT understand.

I should be able to change the default in options so that it stays on one page - it always used to be that way and I don't suppose it's brain surgery to set up a patch PLEASE>

Thanks, DavidF2. Yes, I keep printer drivers up-to-date and I, too, submitted feedback using the link the last time you posted it. Is there value in periodically submitting feedback on the same issue?

I suppose it can't hurt and it would certainly have a better chance than posting about it in this forum. To my knowledge the Publisher workgroup does not monitor this peer to peer forum.

But honestly I don't think this is an issue that will get any response from the Pubisher work group. Publisher is already treated as a poor adopted step child...they didn't even give it the ribbon menu until version 2010, and it is not the updated ribbon you find in the other Office apps. Look at how much priority it is given in this forum, lumped in with three discontinued programs. 

I just don't see them putting any resources into fixing a problem that they will most likely say is a printer driver problem with just some printers that also has a workaround...you can reset the printer setting each time. They will blame the printer manufacturer just as the printer manufacturer will blame MS...as it always has been when Publisher chokes on a particular printer driver.

Publisher has always been a bit picky about printer drivers. Unfortunately Pubisher 2010 seems even more so. Provide specific feedback via the feedback link and if enough people post about the same problem then that will increase the chance of a fix. Just don't hold your breath.

DavidF,

Thanks for that reminder -- you have of course made the same point before, and as a result, I've submitted feedback twice to Microsoft using the link you helpfully provided some time ago.

All my printer drivers are up-to-date, and are kept so through the printer manufacturer's software auto-update regime.

As above, I would still see this as a Publisher problem, as regardless of the age of, or parameter-reporting from, the driver, it surely makes no sense for Publisher to assume that the default for any printer should be Tiled.

Thanks again for the input.

This is a peer to peer forum. You won't find the product group monitoring or posting here. If you want to get feedback to MS:

Give Us Feedback for Microsoft Office 2010

With that said, it sounds like you and Patrick have determined that this issue is because of printer drivers with some printers, and as such I doubt that MS will do anything about it. Publisher has always been a bit picky about drivers.

Have you and Patrick tried updated drivers?
