SYMPTOMS

When you import text from Word for Windows into Publisher 2.0, text following Next Page section breaks in Word for Windows may be lost. Text following Continuous section breaks in Word for Windows is retained. This can result in many pages of the Word for Windows document not being imported into Publisher 2.0.

===

Steps to Reproduce the Problem --

1. Create a Word for Windows 2.0 document.

2. From the Insert menu, choose Break and then select the Next Page option to insert a Next Page section break into the document.

3. Save the file as TEST.DOC.

4. Open or switch to Microsoft Publisher 2.0.

5. Draw a text frame.

6. From the File menu in Publisher, choose the Import Text command and select the Word for Windows file TEST.DOC to import the text.

7. Any text following the Next Page section break does not import into the document.

Deleting the Next Page section break does not seem to allow the text to then be imported.

NOTE: On the imported text in Publisher, a section sign may appear instead of the actual text.
