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 SP8's	SP8's (9836)

1387605	2014-11-04 07:25:00	Webdevguy ... yep, tried that and it still doesn't work. I think the problem is that it's not actually a text file, it's just a plain Word .docx with a border. 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 !	SP8's (9836)

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.	Webdevguy (17166)
