Word and Publisher question

[Guest]

Hello everyone I have a question for the board. How does one merge documents
created in Publisher with Documents created in Word? I am using the 2003
edition. I wrote a book proposal used word to create the proposal and
Publisher to create the book chapters. How can I combine all these into a
single file? Any info that can be provided will be appreciated. Thanks in
advance

Output them separately to PDF and combine them using Acrobat.

Is it possible to copy and paste Publisher documents into word? or vice versa?

Only if you are prepared to reformat one of them substantially. Which would
defeat the purpose of having used Word or Publisher in the first place. Word
and Publisher are different beasts.

How about if I copy and paste the word documents with Publisher documents how
would I merge them all? What would be the best method to use. Thanks for the
advice so far.

Suck it and see. I guess it depends on the documents. If you had good reason
to use Word and Publisher in the first place, then you'll probably end up
with a mess; but hard to say without seeing the documents. Total effort will
likely be least if you simply take whichever is the shorter document and
simply re-do it in the other app.

What have you got against the PDF option? -- you would have had the job
finished hours ago.

compress them to send over email. Jezebel thanks for all your help and

You'll need to find a Publisher expert for advice on that.
You could zip the three into one ZIP file.

Also, there's no point in sending a Publisher file unless you know the
recipient also has Publisher: most people don't. Which is another good
reason for using PDF.

That's what we (over in the Publisher newsgroup) advised her to do.

Thanks for the advice everyone now I have a real stupid question for posters
here, I am a novice at creating PDF files so could someone here kindly
advise what steps to take? I have adobe reader 7.0 on my PC and did a google
search and found pronto PDF was a free universal method to use. I dont have
acrobat could adobe or pronto be used to convert files in publisher to PDF?
Again I am know it might sound stupid to some here. Also as a side note I am
a man the literary agent is a woman.
