2002 vs 2003

[louise]

I am an adjunct instructor at our Community College. I have my first
Publisher class coming up. It is 2002 and on my home computer I have 2003.
Are there differences I should be aware of?

Publisher 2002 does not support Catalog Merge, multiple Master Pages, or
empty picture frames.
Publisher 2003 doesn't have the pink layout guides.

Your files, luckily, should be completely interchangeable, and as they're
teaching you Publisher 2002, not 2003, using 2003 at home should be fine.
If they were teaching you 2003 and you had 2002, it might be a little
awkward.
