Is is possible to record a macro with keystrokes, as in Word 2003 in Publisher? If yes, how is this accomplished and if not how does one create a text box without hyphenatation by default? Thanks. -- Ron

If memory serves, the hyphenation options are not available through the object model, so cannot be controlled though a macro. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org

But no. No fixes in the last office service pack, no announcements, and no signs of activity on the Publisher front of any sort. It's enough to make one think that the product is being quietly dropped.
If Publisher is going to be dropped, it will be in the next version of Office. I think there will be a service pack, I can't believe they will leave Publisher 2007 the way it is now. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Fred" wrote in message news:PtmdnbaTPez8RsHVnZ2dnUVZ8trinZ2d@eclipse.net.uk... > >> Publisher has no macro recorder.

It was the Publisher team that was responsible for the PDF features in Office 2007. That obviously took a lot of resources, something that the Publisher team is not rich in, hence the smaller improvements in other areas. > It's enough to make one think > that the product is being quietly dropped. This is the way Publisher's _always_ been; it hasn't been dropped yet, and I see no reason to think that it will be in the near future. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org

It must have kept the pair of them occupied for at least two or three weeks. And then they had to revisit the whole thing and take them out again afterwards, what a drag!

Not so much take out, as hide and reveal only when the add-in is installed. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://ed.mvps.org
