converting publisher 98 to 2002 from a disk

[Julie]

I'm having trouble printing publisher98 documents from a
disk on a system that runs xp publisher 2002. The font
and pictures are distorted. Can any one help?

You will have problems as Publisher 98 was not printer driver interdependent
like later versions.

The only way to overcome this, is to have the same printer driver installed
on the computer that Publisher 98 is installed on.

However, in saying that, if the Publisher 98 documents being opened in
Publisher 2002 are on a computer running Windows XP with Open Type fonts, it
still may not be 100%, but certainly less problems than you are experiencing
now.

Always copy the Publisher file from the disk to the hard drive, otherwise
you can and will get file corruptions.

In addition to David's advice, you will find that the fonts located in
WordArt may/will change when opening Publisher 98 publications in Publisher
2002. Here is a kb article that addresses this issue:

And here is a registry fix that will preven the WordArt from appearing
distorted:
