Sizing in Pixels

[Grumpy Old Microsoftee]

Publisher 2000 and, during 2007 and 2008, Publisher 2007 allowed me to size
text boxes and tables using pixels. On my tribe's website I added a
calendar, in 2006 and 2007, that I built using Publisher 2000. This worked
well. In October 2007 I upgraded to a laptop with Windows Vista and the full
suite of Microsoft Office applications, including Publisher. For the 2008
calendar Publisher distorted it so that the calendar displays correctly ONLY
in MSIE, a move I disrespect but tolerate. But this morning when I sat down
to build the 2009 calendar it no longer allows me to display the size of the
text boxes and tables in pixels. Everything is in inches. Does anybody know
how to switch the display back to pixels? Thanks, Rod

Tools, Options, Measurement Units.

Thanks Mary, there it is! Vista is so bloated that to make it faster than my
dusty old 1999 Vaio running Win98 I turned off a slew of "enhancements," and
now many of the text elements and drop down menu items are very hard to read
so when I went to Tools Options early this morning I didn't see that there.
But now I do. Thank you much!

I have Vista, I don't find it slow. I'm glad you have found your Options.
