SUMMARY
Publisher cannot save publications in a graphic format accessible by other applications. The following steps show how to work around this limitation, and use Paintbrush to save a publication as a graphic file.



MORE INFORMATION
To save a publication from Microsoft Publisher as a graphic file:
 * 1) Select the information from Publisher you want to save as a graphic.
 * 2) Choose Copy from the Edit menu.
 * 3) Run Paintbrush from the Accessories group in Program Manager,.
 * 4) Choose Paste from the Edit menu. (Note the image is editable.)
 * 5) Choose Save As from the File menu.
 * 6) From the Save File As Type list box, choose the desired format (PCX or BMP).
 * 7) Type a unique filename in the File Name box.
 * 8) Choose OK.

This image is now a graphic in a discreet file, independent of Publisher, and usable in other applications that can import PCX or BMP graphics.
