Content library objects

[Al]

Why is it that in Publisher 2003 you can insert an object whith merge fields
in the content library and reuse it with all it functionality ex:mergefields
and in Publisher 2007 when you reuse them(object) the merge fields are
converted to text.

Are you selecting the Product Picture... in More Items?

No
In the "content library" is what Publisher 2007 calls it in the menu Insert

Al, Publisher 2003 doesn't have a content library. You can put objects into the
Design Gallery, but it is only for the present publication, the objects will not
be available in subsequent publications. The content library in 2007 is entirely
different.

Well I would create a template where I would store them all in. Then I could
always start a new publication based on that template.

My problem is that you may use this code:

ActiveDocument.Pages(1).Shapes _
.AddGroupWizard Wizard:=pbWizardGroupTableOfContents, _
Left:=100, Top:=100

to get an object out of the Design Gallery for the ones that came with
publisher
but the ones you create and add to the Design Gallery how do we refer to
them.
