Rene - Are you using Publisher 2010? 2010 introduced captions, but not the kind of auto-formatted numbering you're looking for, that you'll need to enter by hand. For information on captions and the other picture tools see:

I need to create a caption stlye containing an outline-numbered beginning. Ex. Figure 2.1. the image. The "2" in the caption represents the section number of the heading 1 secion that this caption resides under. So this caption may reside under any of the following sections : 2. Overview; 2.1. Detailed Overview; 2.2.2. Very Detailed Overview

Valmont - For the header/footer question, use a different Master Page for the first and last pages of your publication and don't add the header/footer.

For the page number question, after the first page insert a section by right-clicking on the second page and select Insert Section. Then go to the last page and do the same thing. Now, on the Insert tab in the Header & Footer group click Page Number, then click Format Page Numbers. In the Page Number Format dialog choose Start this section with 1.

I have created a program book using Publisher 2010 and I have a header. How do I tell publisher not to show the header on the first (outside front cover) page and last page (outside back cover)? Also, I have page numbers, is there a way to start the page numbering on a different page than the first?

Appreciate any asistance

Hi Cara - Regarding taking the one page per pub file into a single pub, My suggestion is to open one of the one page pubs, press CTRL+A to select all the objects on the page, then copy/paste them into a new page in your single pub. This is still copy/paste, but you do the whole page at a time rather than each object on the page separately.

For importing Word docs into your pub file I suggest using the Insert > Text File > select the Word file and allow Publisher to create the text boxes, pages, and autoflow of text/objects between the text boxes on each page.

I'm new to this and am not sure how to post a question. May I post it here? I'm stumped with my Publisher 2003 edition If this is wrong, please let me know how to post properly and accept my apologies!

I'm having a problem right now that I need help with. I have a template I've created for a quarterly and someone has submitted material for it in Publisher rather than Word ,like they usually do. The person was new to publisher so she submitted each page as a separate file. Is there an easy way to pull all of the content on these pages into one Publisher document, using my template (which is just a decorative frame with Volume/Issue and Date text boxes)? I can't seem to figure out how to do this apart from copying and pasting each element over from her pages to my template. I'm thinking that can't be the easiest way--very time consuming for a long document. I also have a submission that's long and involved from Word--is there a way to easily merge that w/o cutting and pasting every bit of text, art, etc.? Help!

Cara
