Here's the best advice I can give you. 
Stop using Publisher now. Get a real page layout program.

Sad to say, Publisher is usually considered to be incompatible with
pre-press and with quality output.

Your problems are just beginning.
Even after you get the columns to line up, 
onj your computer with your fonts,
whatever service bureau's system the job
is set up on would be lucky to do the same.

Stop using Publisher. If you plan to do more than
one or two jobs, the extra charges most printers/
bureaus will charge for the time needed to 
ouptu your file will be more than the
cost of buying a real program. And this says
nothing about error pages, etc.

In this case it was just for a quick laser printed brochure.
I got round the problem by creating two tables, one for the goods 
and the other for prices.

For proper pre-press I'd use Quark Express 4.

The service where I used to work had no problems outputting Publisher
files.... (film) and the output quality was the same as any other dtp
program. Personally though I would not use it because of its
limitations... these limitations having nothing to do with "quality"!
