CANNOT OPEN a publisher 2000 FILE in Publisher 2002 or 2003 - Help!

[Stevk]

I am very frustrated by the fact that I cannot open one of my file created in Publisher 2000 using my Publisher 2002 or 2003 versions. The file is converted by Publisher 2003 up to about 74% and then an error message comes up asking that I report the error message to Microsft - which I did. There is nothing wrong with the file as this because a problem only after I purchased the new versions. This is a very important document for me as I invested a lot of time creating it. Please advise as to how this could be fixed. Thanks!

Are you running Norton AntiVirus?
Does the file still open in Publisher 2000?

Yes, I am running Norton Antivirus. I have installed all three versions of Publisher (2000, 2002, 2003) and the only one that opens it is Publisher 2000. What do you suggest that I do because this is a very important file that I would like to be able to open in Publisher 2002 or 3. Perhaps I coucl cut and past one page at a time into Publisher 2003.... but that woudl be such a slow way of doing it.

Thanks for your help Ed.

Disable Script Blocking and the Microsoft Office PlugIn in Norton AntiVirus
and try opening the file(s)
