Files Corrupted - Won't Open - Crashing Publisher 2002

[Web-Guy]

I am starting to see more and more publisher files
corrupted I think?

I cannot open the stupid things..
I tried please... it still refused! The nerv!

Each time I open the files Publisher Crashes without
evening loading the document. It's a vicious loop!

I've tried opening the document in safe mode, still fails.
I tried not showing the pictures, at first it works.
But after saving, closing, and trying to open again publisher
crashes. I even tried with one file deleting all image objects
that I could discern. Still after saving and closing it began crashing
publisher again. I can pull the text out, but it's the layout I need!

Any ideas?

I am on WinXP Pro. Pub. 2002.
Fresh install of Office XP.

Thank so much!

If the file opens somewhat when you hide the pictures, it could mean your
video/graphics driver needs updating. Go to the manufacturer's web site and look
around.

If you want, you can send me the file and I will try to open it in 2002.
