Background Pictures in Publisher 2010

I am currently trying to create a background using a picture in Publisher 2010. I go through formatting and creating a background and selecting the picture I want to use which is a single image but publisher keeps breaking it into a series of repeated
images. Is there a way to have this not happen?

I insert a picture onto a page but cannot reproduce it in my Publisher 2010, please detail the exact steps how you get here. Try to adjust the background picture to full-screen, does it work?

  • Publisher 2010 issue

    When I try to open a particularly large file (a book I have written with many, many pictures) I get the message that "Publisher cannot open the file." All other file of mine, of any size, will open. How do I work around this problem?

    Hi,
    You may get this error when the publication is damaged, to troubleshoot a a damaged publication in Publisher, you can refer to the kb below:

    Although it's written for earlier versions, it also applies to Publisher 2010.

  • Background picture missing when post at non .mac-server

    Hi, I am new at this so you have to excause me if I ask stupid qustions.
    I’ve just made a homepage using Iweb. When published at:
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/ it looks the way I want it to look, when published at:
    http://maleegarden.com the background picture isnt there. What have I done wrong?
    MiniMac   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Welcome to the discussions, Malee.
    It looks like the problem is the name of that image (and one other image on your page AND other images on other pages). .Mac can handle names like these
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/iWeb/7CDA7829-0DE9-11DC-AD00-000D93787A30/Ima ges/balkongfontän1-2.jpg
    http://web.mac.com/katamaleegarden/iWeb/7CDA7829-0DE9-11DC-AD00-000D93787A30/Ima ges/Orkidé8-1.jpg
    But when you post those to another server, they become
    balkongfontän1-2.jpg
    Orkidé8-1.jpg
    The easiest way around it is to change those names so that they don't use any special characters, like
    balkongfontan1-2.jpg
    Orkide8-1.jpg
    If you go back through and change your image file names so that they don't have those characters, you shouldn't have a problem with missing images on these pages either:

  • Publisher 2010 is changing my layout in print mode/view

    I'm trying to print a banner across several pages in Publisher 2010. 
    This is my problem in a visual nutshell:
    This is how I want it to look:  http://i.imgur.com/0Kq75KW.png
    This is how it changes in print view:  http://i.imgur.com/wleUaZL.png
    As you can see, it's adding a thick white margin on both ends.  
    I have:
    - Changed margins to zero and to other amounts.  (The white margin width stays the same.)
    - changed the length of the "banner" and the margin changes with it.
    - Tried to align it to the left, because it looks like it's centering it in print view.  In normal view/edit mode, the picture then shifts all the way to the left, but print mode is completely unchanged.
    - I've tried moving the picture drastically to the left so that it's way off the banner template box.  The margins are unchanged, and the left side is just completely cut off.
    I just want to it print in the exact way that the standard view shows it.
    PS.  My printer allows me to print without margins, so that isn't the issue.

    Hi,
    When I was testing, I found the same puzzle that you met:
    After trial and error, I found the solution: to change the Horizontal overlap and Vertical overlap in "Layout Options". See the example below, after I changed the Horizontal overlap and Vertical overlap to the certain numbers, the white margin disappeared.
    Since I'm not working with the same file as yours, I don't know what overlaps should work for you, you will also need to try. Hope this can be a hint.

  • Background pictures do not show up on Singsnap when I open a song to listen to.

    When I click on a song to listen to on the site "Singsnap" some of the users have put pretty background pictures on their site but all I see is plain white, the background does not show up....It also does not show up on IE but it shows up beautifully on Google Chrome......Is there some setting I have disabled or what......The HTML is enabled...

  • I am trying to connect my mac book pro to the tv via a mini display port and a hdmi cable, the only picture that is on the tv screen is the background picture on my computer, any suggestions?

    I am trying to connect my mac book pro to the tv via a mini displayport to a hdmi cable, the only picture on the tv screen is the background picture of my mbp, does anyone know what I need to connect to my samsung tv ?

    Hi there. I also bought an iWires mini Display port to HDMI cable and have an LG LED/LCD TV. I plugged it in to my MB Pro and followed the very small writing that came in the package and got both audio and video going. You need to change the audio settings from within System Preferences on your Mac to select your TV as the audio output.
    My concern is the data latency - do you experience a delay between moving your mouse on the MBPro and the TV displaying the movement? It is only a fraction of a second, but certainly enough to be annoying, especially in a cable as expensive as the iWire.

    When you see the old number come up in the suggested choices look for a blue arrow to the right of the Contact. Tap the blue arrow and then tap Remove from Recents.

  • How do you change the default size of the print batch size for mail merge in Publisher 2010?

    I appended this question to another thread with the same topic but have not received a reply, so I'll try with a new question. Publisher 2010, when doing mail merge, will only merge and print two records at a time. How do you change the default size of
    the print batch size? This is for a 4 page document, 8 1/2 x 11, printed two sides on 11 x 17. I've tried all the suggestions that were in the other thread. The response that was marked as the answer by the moderator is incorrect and does not work. Nothing
    suggested in that thread works. A registry fix that worked for Publisher 2003 won't work because the print batch size key does not exist in the registry for Pub 2010. At least not that I can find. Printing to an XPS document doesn't work. It asks for a filename,
    prints 2 records, asks for new file name, prints 2 records, asks for new file name, and so on. The same for printing to a PDF document. Merging to a new Pub document doesn't work. When I print that job every other sheet is turned over. I.e., sheet one has
    pages 1 & 3 on top, next sheet has 3 & 4 on top, and so on. This makes it impossible to run them through the folder. The same thing happens when I print that complete merged document to XPS or PDF. I have the latest drivers installed for our printer, a Toshiba
    2500C copier/printer connected via network. What do I need to do to to change the batch size to something reasonable, like 100 records?

    It's been two weeks since I posted this question. What does it take to get an answer? I cannot believe it's being ignored, nor can I believe that someone in MS doesn't have an answer.

    How to stop the auto change of the desktop background picture ?

    Well . . thanks, but I already have done that and I still have the problem. The background changes to the standard picture galaxy not to one of the options. Sorry my question wasn't clear enough.
    Thanks. 

  • How do I change the background picture that is shown when i start my Mac?

    On the iMacs in my school they have a different name for everyone of the after for example the band Queen and then there is a picture on the inlogg screen with queen on it. So then you log in and there is another background picture after that. I Have a macbook pro and I would like to change that "start-picture".
    Right now it´s kind of boring and grey. Can you change it somehow?

    It sounds like you're using Adobe Send for Outlook.  Correct?
    Unfortunately, there is no way to change the default text that is inserted into your message. You'll have to change it each time.
    I will pass along your request to the Adobe Send team.

  • MS publisher 2010 to PDF using Adobe Acrobat X Pro produces outlines on some of my images that are not there on the publisher file!

    I am helping a client publish a book through Createspace. We are both using Windows 8 OS. She created her document in MS Publisher 2010. I made the necessary edits to her book, (111 pages) and saved it as a pdf for commercial printing. The resulting pdf puts lines on some of the images. (All the images are jpg format, but it only happens to some.) I have tried creating the pdf in several different ways including print to PDF, Save as PDF, and Save and Send Wizard for commercial printing. I have also tried deleting and reinserting the images. I don't know what else to try. Does anyone have any ideas.
    The image below shows what I mean. On the left is the Publisher File, on the right is the PDF.

    I agree with your statement; even for a particular document, if I choose to "Print on both sides" and then print again immediately after, "Print on both sides" will be deselected.
    However, I'm not sure what you're implying by you're statement. I'm asking precisely why this setting isn't sticky. Acrobat uses a non-standard printer dialog; in the usual dialog I can easily set a defualt duplex setting. I almost always want to print duplex. Why can't I do this by default in Acrobat?

  • Can users without Publisher 2010 view (read only) Publisher pieces in a SharePoint 2010 library?

    I'm (very) new to SharePoint 2010 and fumbling my way through it with a certain amount of success. We have a variety of Publisher 2010 items I wanted to be made available in a library. Not all of the users in the group have Publisher, so I converted them
    all to PDF...which doesn't seem to work with SharePoint 2010. So my question is...if a member of the group does not have Publisher 2010, will he or she be able to view these same items if I post them as read only in Publisher? OR, even better, is there
    a workaround for PDFs? Thanks so much! --SMGKatz

    EDITING original response to Mike Smith below.
    Updated here:
    At Mike's suggestion, I tried the XPS/XML route and we have a WINNER!!! Multiple problems solved.
    Thanks, Mike!
    This is helpful and leads me to a second question... we all have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard or at least Acrobat Reader, but the PDFs were giving us trouble. When you mention "a PDF viewer" were you referring to Acrobat Reader or is there some
    sort of plug-in that plays with SharePoint?
    The only way to convert them to Word would be to save the Publisher pieces as images and drop them into Word, which I can do. I had hoped to post items in the library that users could download to use and the PDF is much more versatile than a Word document
    for this purpose. I haven't yet tested the quality/resolution of the PDF vs Word w/ an image dropped in, so I don't know if this would be an issue, as well.
    We've always gone the PDF route. Maybe I'll explore XPS options and see how that works out for me. I have to be honest, I never knew what XPS was until you mentioned it and I looked it up. So thank you for that, as well! That may end up being my solution!

  • Stationary/Background pictures question.

    Hello, I just had a quick question. I am a new Mac user, I have always used a PC before, and I just bought a mac which I have had for about a week. Anyways, my question is... is there any way to put stationary/background pictures on the e-mail? I can't find any anywhere on my computer, and I just want to know if I am overlooking it or not, and if there isn't any stationary, is there a way to get some? Thanks.
    As for the computer that I have, it is a Mac OS X Version 10.4.9, and the Processor is 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

    I don't believe this is possible within Mac OS X Mail in Tiger but it will be in Leopard. You should check out some of Apple's iCards for now.
