Publisher 2007 Service Pack 2

[Grapevine]

Re problems with Publisher and IE8, I see the following at MS Help:

"For Publisher 2003 users, please upgrade to Publisher 2007, and then
install Publisher 2007 Service Pack 2."

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/969705

May be a very dumb question, but - does this mean Service Pack 2 for MS
Office (which I can easily find), or does it mean a Publisher-specific Pack
(which I can't).

Also if I introduce an SP for Offcice or Publisher 07 for Publisher 07 when
the rest of my Office is 2003, won't this cause conflicts and errors?

I have no Publisjher site yet so no link to give...Help appreciated!

It shouldn't affect your other Office 2003 programs, but then again... .

Reference: Description of 2007 Microsoft Office Suite Service Pack 2 (SP2)
and of Microsoft Office Language Pack 2007 SP2:

Some users have found SP2 breaks Publisher, and makes it impossible to open
existing Pub files...you know, break one thing to fix another, so there is a
hotfix for that:

You can manually fix the problem with the navbar not rendering in IE8. You
don't have to "upgrade" to Pub 2007. Go to the web design group and read the
posts about the navbar issue. We have addressed this question several times
in the last week or so:

Thanks David, will check out the web design group stuff on this to avoid
having to deal with upgrades, service packs and hot fixes....
