Can different editions of Publisher be used together?

If my son uses Publisher 2003 on a school computer, downloads his work to a
flash drive, brings it home to edit on Publisher 2007, will he then be able
to take the edited work back to the school computer to be used, or will it
not be compatible?

Publisher 2003 and 2007 share a common file format, so the scenario you
describe will cause no problems.

Thank you both.

This is probably a good opportunity to mention that editing the files
directly on the USB flash drive is highly inadvisable. Copy to the local
hard drive, open the file, edit, save, then copy it back to the flash
drive. This helps prevent file corruption, and also gives an extra
backup copy if corruption does occur.
