1387603 2014-11-03 23:24:00 Hi all

I've tried every which way to get a plain Word page with border into Publisher in Office 2010 ... the same border or lines to make a border are not available in my version of Publisher. - tried saving it as .doc .docx and every other format I can save it as in Word - and importing, C&P, etc., nothing works.

The Microsoft help site suggests a couple of methods, but for some reason they don't work for me.

If anyone can help, I'd be extremely grateful.

TIA

(I'm not a fan of MS Publisher - I prefer real publishing software like InDesign )

Publisher says it's being used after importing it, but if it is, it's transparent ... nothing visible and I've tried selecting all, nothing shows up.

I don't use Publisher all that much, but it usually does what it's told ... it's just being a PITA today !

How about if you just save it as a txt file to remove all the formatting then import that.

I used publisher once many years ago. I found it to be a retarded piece of crap. It refuses to work with other formats or design programs which is $&;!! annoying.
