PUB: Incorrect Placement of Pictures in Converted Word Document

CAUSE

Publisher is a frame-based program. A publication contains different frames that each contain a single type of information (text, picture, or OLE). The page position and size of each frame is saved in the publication.

Word, however, is not a frame-based program. A Word document contains a single stream of data that can contain text, pictures, and OLE information. There is no absolute page position information stored for pictures or tables.

When Publisher converts a Word document, it separates the pictures, tables, and OLE objects from the text and places them in their own frames. It can determine which page each of these frames belongs to. However, Publisher can't determine exactly where to place these frames on each page.

If you open a Word document in Publisher version 2.0 or 1.0, each graphic or OLE object is placed on a separate page.
