Turn automatic trapping on or off

  1. On the Tools menu, point to Commercial Printing Tools, point to Trapping, and then click Preferences.
  2. Select or clear the Automatic trapping check box.

    When Automatic trapping is selected, Microsoft Publisher traps the entire publication.

Publisher only creates traps when you print separations. To print separations, you must set up the publication for process-color or spot-color printing (Tools menu, Commercial Printing Tools, Color Printing).
