Getting a "Not a Valid Win32 Application" when i try to open doc.

[Deb]

I am trying to open a publisher file that was sent to me. I have Publisher
95. I am getting the error message "......is not a valid win32 application"
Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Publisher 95 will only open Publisher 1.0 and 2.0. Publisher 95 is a 16 bit program.
Maybe your sender can convert the document to PDF. Or send it to me and I will
convert it to PDF for you. I can open the 97 document but I won't be able to convert
it to 95 for you.
Remove "my" to reply...

Thanks but that is ok about converting it. Is there a version of Publisher
that is compatible with all versions and will open any and all publisher
docs.?

 

[Mary Sauer]

Publisher 2002 and 03 will open all versions of Publisher. I can open all versions,
the rub comes in when you try to convert it to 95.

Thanks for your help!!!!!

Publisher 2002 and 03 will open all versions of Publisher. I can open all versions,
the rub comes in when you try to convert it to 95.

Publisher 2002 and 03 will open all versions of Publisher.

Except for 1.0 files.

I will assume not many of those are around... I probably have the last of them. Gawd,
are they awful.
