Insert Word Document

I'm having trouble trying to insert a Word document onto a page.

I would like to have the document (a testimonial letter), appear exactly at
the doc. The problem is that I can't seem to have it lay out the same (it
gets changed as if it was squeezed into a column), nor can I change the font
colour to contrast with my black background. It would be okay if I could
leave the web page as it is, and have the document be black text on white.

Thanks.

Either upload the doc file and link to it or copy the text from the doc file
and paste it in a text box on Pub page and then format.

It is just asking too much to be able to paste a Word doc into Publisher and

I am no expert, but it seems curious to me that Acrobat, and its cheaper clo
nes,
can take such a wide variety of work product file types, and produce a half
decent pdf file.  So why can't a program like Publisher process a word doc t
hat
is pasted in it and make it come out looking right?  Your gawd M$ ought to b
e as
smart as the folks at Adobe, no?  I am only suggesting that Publisher ought 
to
be able to take any document created in the Office suite and be smart enuff 
to
make it look right in Publisher.  But then Publisher can't even deal with wo
rk
product files from previous versions of Publisher, can it?

What does that have to do with copy and pasting from Publisher to Word? or
Word to Publisher? NADA

Why can't Adobe? And while you are answering as to why Adobe can't do this
either with other Adobe products, answer me this batman, why is it that you
talk about Cut and Paste from one product of Office into another product
within Office and then compare that do Acrobat exporting PDF?

If you want a consistent export from all MS Office applications like Adobe
is to PDF, use the MODI in Office.

Yup!

I would like to be able to do that in Adobe as well. But it just doesn't
happen with them either.

Do you even comprehend what you are posting? Of course Publisher can deal
with publications from previous versions of Publisher.

Do you have a brain at all?  Just watch the posts in here if you believe tha
t is
true.  Publisher 2002 could not handle the work product files I use in 2000.
The case was escalated, and M$'s best never solved the problem.  They sent m
e a
refund check for the purchase price of Publisher 2002, a second copy of the
program gratis (figure that one out), a free copy of Front Page 2002, and a
stack of free M$ publications for my trouble.

*Actually we are talking about Word to Publisher.  To my lay brain, it seems
 to
have allot to do with it.  It is technically possible that Publisher could d
eal
with Word documents.

*Because, moron, if Acrobat can process a Word doc into a decently renderabl
e
pdf file, then it should have been trivial for Publisher to grab a Word doc 
and
make it look decent in Publisher.  Should I talk slower, Robin?

*But M$ is sooo much smarter than Adobe...  Acrobat works just fine with Wor
d
docs, and from what I have seen in here, with Publisher as well.
