Why Not Publisher to MS Word? WHy is this impossible?

I'm trying to create essentially screen mockups and I need to put
them in an MS Word 2003 document. I assumed that if I started with a
blank web page in Publisher 2003, this would be a piece of cake. Surely
MS's products would interoperate that way. I was wrong.

If I try to save as a Word 2003 document, I'm warned that only text
will show up.

If I save it as a JPEG and insert it into a Word doc, it shows up
super-tiny and I can't make it bigger

If I save it as a PNG file, I get much the same. I can make it a
little larger but it is still not right.

I need an entire web page on a Word page, rotated 90 degrees like any
Picture, so that it looks the ay it will on a computer screen. Why
can't I find any way to do this? If I save the Publisher page for print
publication, I can't import it into Word. It looks like garbage. Why
is this so impossible? THanks.

This should not happen. Do the JPEGs and PNGs saved open properly in an
image viewer?

If the poster sets up Word as a web page, the problem would be solved with the
copy/paste. He is setting up Publisher as a web page.

Ken is mixing oranges with apples.

MS Word doesn't understand form controls on a web page, like what a
button should look like. So drawing a web page in Word, which I've been
doing this morning, is producing unacceptable results. Thanks.

Word's form controls are identical to Publisher's...

First I am not sure what you are trying to do. But if you are trying to
create an instruction manual, then
Why do you not display the real webpage you are interesed in and then
press PRTSCRN
That will copy the screen to the clipboard and then in your Word
Document you can paste the picture of the screen. It may be too big but
you can just drag the coners in untill it is the correct size or use the
Word Picture tools to crop off the parts you do not need.
