Creating files for all versions

[Gladys]

Depending upon the PC I am using at my church and home, I use different
versions of Pub--Pub 97, 2000, and 2002.

If I want to create a file that I can use with all these versions, how do I
do that?

For example, I see on Brian's website that there are templates/files that
can be used on several versions, i.e., a resume file, family tree, etc.

In what version were those files created and saved?

Gladys,

You would only be able to use Microsoft Publisher 97 to
save the files in order for all three programs to open
the file. Check out the following link from my site:

When you are working on PUB2002 save file as "Publisher 97-2002" file format
and you will be open it with PUB97. Similar for PUB2000.

Thank you,

"Saving As" Microsoft Publisher 97 is NOT an option.

Thank you, Brian, for confirming that someone was offbase with their reply
earlier.

You are right Gladys. I`m sorry, I didn¹t have Publisher handy at that
moment.
Save in the format for lowest version of Publisher you have. If you are
using PUB97 - use 97, if you the lowest version of Publisher that you are
using is 2000 - save for publisher 2000.

Publisher 97-2002 is backwards compatible, but you cannot open files in 2002
format with PUB97.

Thank you,
Vsevolod.

Yes you most definitely can open Publisher 97 files in Pub2002.
