How can I convert a Publisher 97 file to Publisher 2000 so I can o

[Picbro Okajun]

I need to open a Publisher 97 file from a disk with my Publisher 2000 Deluxe
edition. Pub 2000 says it can't open previous versions. Any ideas?

Disable your anti-virus software and try again.
If you have Norton, disable "script blocking" and in Norton options, misc. clear
"Office Plug-in."

If the disabling of your anti-virus software doesn't work, send the file to me and I
will convert it for you.
There are other things you can try. Turn off the detailed display before trying to
open the 97 document, disable the default printer before opening Publisher.

Are you 100% certain that the file is not a Publisher 1.0 or Publisher
2002/2003 file?

I've had folks send me files that they claim were Publisher 3.0 and they were
actually 2002-03... If I go into properties of some of my files, opens with... it
always says Publisher 95 version 3.0. Double-click the file and Publisher 2003 opens
them.
