About publisher update...

[Lucky Luke]

Hi

I actually have Publisher 2000 installed from Microsoft Office.

Will publisher 2003 update will really update my MS PUB 2000?

Yes, unless you put them in separate folders like I have. In that case you
end up with both versions on your system or, in my case, three different
versions on a single system.

What do you mean by "update"? If you are referring to a SR, I don't think
it will work with Publisher 2000. And seeing that Publisher 2003 requires
Windows 2000 or later you may find the SR won't install.

Now if you mean Publisher 2003 Upgrade, then you will need Windows 2000 or
later.

Hello JoAnn

You have multiple versions of Publisher.
But how did you do this?
Did you just copied your actual Pub 2000 version in another folder and
let 2003 updater update the actual one?

Nope - I had Pub 2000 (as part of Office Pro XP) installed first. Then when
I acquired Pub 2002 as a stand alone, I installed it and set the
installation to install *not* as a upgrade. This put it in its own
directory. Then I got Office Pro 2003. Once again - no, this is not an
upgrade and it put it in a separate folder.

Three versions of Publisher, two versions of Office, two versions of PC
Stitch, two versions of Acrobat Reader, etc. You never know when you need an
older version of something.

I do have W2K-sp4 and Pub2000.
What I mean by update is going from Pub2000 to PUB2003.
Sorry I should have used the word "upgrade".
And my question to JoAnn was how did she manage to have 2000 and 2003
on her machine. Did she just kept a copy of PUB2000 and let the upgrade
disk do the job on the original?
Just a question like that...curiosity.
