PUB2002: Entire Grouped Object Is Not Saved When You Click "Save as Picture" (295153)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Publisher 2002

This article was previously published under Q295153

SYMPTOMS

When you group pictures and text together and select Save as Picture on the shortcut menu, the entire grouped object is not saved.

CAUSE

If you select only a portion of the grouped object, only that portion is saved as a picture. This occurs if you select either a component of the group or text inside one of the objects.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this behavior, when you select Save as Picture, verify that none of the individual elements (object or text) of the grouped object is selected. You should see only the clear selection handle dots and the green dot for the object rotation when you select the group.

NOTE: A selected sub-object is surrounded by six gray, circular selection handles. Selected text inside a sub-object appears "highlighted".
