Default How to put text from Word into Publisher?

Hi All,

I have five pages of text (in MS office Word) and I need to get it into MS Office Publisher, but it has to be in text boxes (am I correct?), however as it is at the moment, it is just typed straight into word. Is there a way to copy all into publisher without text boxes?

Thanks, Scott.

Edit: I can open the word document using publisher, but I end up with five pages of text, ina text box.

Can you not just make seperate empty text boxes in Publisher, then use copy and paste to put the bits of the Word doc where you want them ?

Spose, but when it is edited later, it will just fill up a text box, instead of it just puching thnigs down through the document.

I'm not Publisher expert, but can't you alter the properties of the text boxes so that stuff 'wraps' around it ie. when you add more text, it shunts everything else down the page

Yes it goes in text boxes, but you just set the text to flow into the boxes on the following page.
