[Chris Atwell]

How can I get MS publisher2003 to open my Printshop.sig files ??????please help

 

[Mary Sauer]

I believe you are out of luck. Do you still have PrintShop? Copy and paste.

 

[Brian Simon]

Is there no way of converting printshop files like .biz to publisher?

 

[Mary Sauer]

Does PrintShop have a "save as" feature? I have an old version of CreataCard, send me
one file, let me try to open it.

Chris -

Do you have Print Shop on your system? Is it by chance PS20? If so, I can
help. If it isn't that version, it's still worth a shot. If you don't have
Print Shop on your system.....well, let's start with those question.

Brian -

As I hinted with Chris, there may be a way but I just tried it. The results
.............. well, they kind of sucked. But maybe you'll have better luck
than I will.

 

[Mary Sauer]

I downloaded a trial of Print Shop and tried to open the file he sent. Print Shop has
changed their formats. My old Creatacard went south so it was no use. Applications do
themselves no favors by using weird file associations. At the very least applications
that are put out by the same company should be able to share files or have a
mechanism for opening legacy files. A viewer perhaps. I have Print Shop on an Apple
computer, no help there. I changed the format to .raw, I did get a nice pixilated
image.
My advice would be to recreate the card in Word or Publisher or any application and
save it for prosperity in a image format.

You mean PS won't read it's own files? That bites. I have PS20 and played
with a .sig and .biz. I could bring data over but if they've changed it -
YUCK!! Bad business practice!

[JoAnn Paules [MSFT MVP]]

I got the file and was able to turn it into a Pub file in a flash. It's all
one graphic tho. I'd really suggest taking the elements and pasting them
into Publisher - but I'm obviously biased.

Okay - time to hit the turnpike. Meeting today up north - let me know if I
can be of any help............................
