Print separations of your publication

Microsoft Office Publisher 2003

Print separations of your publication

When you print separations, Microsoft Publisher prints one page for each color used in your publication. Separations appear in black and white, even if you print to a color printer, because your printer uses them only to determine how colors are laid out.

  1. On the File menu, click Print.
  2. In the Name box, select the printer you want to use.
  3. Click Advanced Print Settings, and then click the Separations tab.
  4. In the Output list, click Separations.
  5. In the These plates list, do one of the following:
    • Click All defined inks to print a spot-color or process-color plate for every ink you have defined in the publication (Tools menu, Commercial Printing Tools, Color Printing).
    • Click Used inks only to print a spot-color or process-color plate for every defined ink that is used in the publication.
    • Click Convert spot to process to print only process-color plates and convert all defined spot colors to process colors.
  6. To prevent Publisher from printing plates for unused process colors, click Don't print blank plates.
  7. Click the other options you want on the Page Settings tab and the Graphics and Fonts tab, and then click OK.
  8. Click OK.
