SYMPTOMS
When you point to Picture on the Insert menu in Microsoft Publisher 2000, the following commands are not present:

CAUSE
These commands do not exist.

The steps in the following Microsoft Publisher 2000 online Help topics are incorrect:

 * Add a picture using Microsoft Picture It!



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, start Picture It! or PhotoDraw, and then create and save the picture that you want to insert into your publication.

NOTE: If you want to print the publication at a commercial printing service, Microsoft recommends that you save the picture in TIFF format and then link to the picture from Publisher 2000.

 * 1) Click the Picture Frame Tool, and then draw a box on the appropriate page of the publication.
 * 2) On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click From File.
 * 3) Click the picture that you want to insert into the publication.
 * 4) Click the arrow on the Insert button.
 * 5) Click Link to File.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Publisher 2000.



MORE INFORMATION
If you link to a picture from a publication, you ensure that the original picture is included when you pack your files for your printing service.

For more information about how to pack your publication for a Commercial Printing service, click Microsoft Publisher Help on the Help menu, type Pack your publication in Publisher format to take to a commercial printing service in the Office Assistant or the Answer Wizard, and then click Search to view the topic.
