Convert Publisher 2000 to 2002

[godrox]

I need a utility that will convert about 2,000 publications from Publisher
2000 to Publisher 2002 file format. I searched the web and Microsoft's site
but didn't find anything. Does anyone know where to find something like this
or if it even exists? Thanks!

Just open and save them. I know - you wanted something that would do it in a
batch but that's not gonna' happen. Sorry. Better get started now - you have
a lot of work ahead of you.

(By the way, why do it all at once? Pub 2002 will open them so what's the
rush?)

Alternatively, if you have one of the Visual Studio or Visual Studio .NET
applications, you can write an add-in that will open each file individually
and save it in Publisher 2002 format.

But I do agree with JoAnn - what's the rush?

No, that's the problem -- Publisher 2002 won't open our publications from
Publisher 2000 over our network. Not quite sure why. It works fine if we
disable our antivirus, but that's not an option, so we'd rather do a batch
convert if possible.

It's a Norton thing. Publisher and Norton are like oil and water. (I can
appreciate doing the batch file thing tho.)

As Mary Sauer has said, if you disable the Office plug ins and script
blocking, Norton works fine with Publisher.
