Cannot open Publisher File

I'm using Publisher 2003 and have a 100 MB (66 MB Compressed) publisher file
that consitently hangs up publisher when trying to open it. Once in a while,
the first page will load, but when you try to switch to another page, the
program hangs up again. I've tried several PCs to open the file with
including a P4 file server with 2 GB of RAM. nothing seems to make a
difference. I can tell through the Task Manager that the app is doing some
sort of processor work, but no disk access is being performed. I tried
opening the file in Safe Mode and it make some slight improvements which led
me to think that there were too many photos and the redraws on all the images
were causing the hang up, so i set Publisher to "hide' all images, and
reduced my graphics card acceleration but it made no difference. I've
uploaded the file to http://www.omnilock.com/Files/Catalog 2005.rar for
anyone who wants to take a shot at it. At 1am, it was still uploading, so
give it a shot in about 20 minutes if you want to download. Thanks in
advance for any help.

You may as well trash this file. It obviously has one or more corrupted images. I
tried everything to get it to work.

I am trying as well.
Puts on a lot of CPU-time.
Seems like it is a catalog merge???
Could the merge file be missing?
