Publisher 2007 compatibility with Pub. 2000

[bonnieh]

We are going to be upgrading from Pub. 2000 to Pub. 2007. I am concerned
about being able to open all of my 2000 documents in 2007. I know in early
versions you couldn't open older files with a new version. I want to be
POSITIVE that I will be able to use the old files and not have to recreate
them all. And yes, I will have them backed up on a flash drive before the
conversion just to be safe.
Thanks1

I've been successful in opening Publisher 2000 files as well as Publisher 98 and
97.

Do a custom install of Pub 2007 into its own folder, and keep 2000 around in
case you need it. In theory, you should be able to open Pub 2000 files in
2007, but...

And besides, the clipart has changed and that might create a problem for you
if you use some.
