Publisher Slice Export

[mcrone]

Not sure if this is on purpose but it would be great to have slice export from publisher. I really enjoy the studio link and for most of my applications I just use publisher with that. However, I then need to export to designer so that I can export a slice of a page.

Yes you're not alone.

What about ...

Thank you! Here I was hoping that the studio link was an all in one solution! And sorry, I didn't mean to repost, I searched for slice in publisher but couldn't find anything on the forum.

Thanks for the solution in the meantime Rick G.

There was another post that waxed a bit angry about Publisher not containing all the tools of Photo or Designer. Studio link apparently is more for corrections and some adjusting. The "heavy lifting" is better done within the respective programs first. That being said studio link is quite robust

Glad that helped

A simple workaround is to

• Go the Designer Persona
• Draw a rectangle with no fill and no border over the area you want to export
• Keep it selected and click Export
• In the Area dropdown box, select Selection Area
• Click Export

Of course this doesn't offer the same as the slice thing, but for a single export it works fine. I use it to create packshots from bookcovers I design, so that the back of the cover and the bleed aren't in the final packshot.

I would love this ability.  There are many times I would like to export just portions of a Publisher document.  I'm able to do it one at a time, but when there are multiple  portions I want to export, this becomes tedious.  I would also love to be able to link to a slice within a Publisher document (much the way you can link to an artboard in Designer).
