SUMMARY
You can combine text and graphics in Microsoft Word for the Macintosh if you use the Create Publisher command on the Edit menu. The previews for all Apple editions are designed to show either text or graphics. When Word places mixed text and graphics in an edition, it previews only the text portion of the file. This feature works correctly if you only select a single graphic when you choose the Create Publisher command. However, if you select the paragraph mark following the graphic or any other text when the Publisher is created, no graphic appears in the Subscribe To preview.



MORE INFORMATION
Specifically, Apple uses an edition format named &quot;PRVW&quot; to preview the data shown in the Subscribe To preview. When only text is in the Publisher, only the text is displayed because the format TEXT is allowed by the PRVW format. Similarly, if you publish a single graphic without a space or paragraph return selected, it is previewed as expected because it uses the PICT format. However, when text is mixed with any other format, Word uses the RTF format, which is not understood by the PRVW format.

NOTE: Any text included in the RTF-formatted selection displays in the Subscribe To preview.
