How do I open a publisher file in Publisher 2000 that was made in.

[Monstervideo]

I had to re-install Publisher 2000 and I am also getting an error message
stating that Publisher cannot open a file from a different version. I just
downloaded and installed all Office 2000 updates and I have turned off Script
blocking and Office plug-ins in my Norton Options menu. Still the files will
not open and I hate to have to re-build a ton of them... Help!

 

[Mike Bailey]

This message usually indicates that the file you are trying to open is from a
more recent version of Publisher than you have. If someone else created the
file (or has worked on the file) you need to have them back save it to
Publisher 2000, or upgrade to the newest version of Publisher. If this is one
of your own files you may have had a newer version of Publisher installed on
your system.

It is possible to have more than one version of Publisher installed, which
I like to do so I can work on joint projects without worrying about issues
that can occur when back saving files or opening them in a newer version.

 

[Monstervideo]

Yes, I had an newer version of Publisher and now I am back to Publisher 2000.
So does this mean I am screwed and have to redo all my Publisher files?

Thanks so much for your help!!

You'll have to go back and save all of the files as a Pub 2000 file.

I read the problem with this suggestion on another board. I have to agree
that it doesn't seem possible to Save a file at all, if you cannot open it at
all. There is no right click option, nor a place in the file's Properties to
"Save As" nor to "Save" for that matter. If there is a way, I and alot of
other people would surely like to know how...

Thanks!

You'll have to go back and save all of the files as a Pub 2000 file.

Reinstall the newer version, or find a friend with the
verion that you were using, that you can e-mail, or place
on a removable disk (ZIP disk, USB Flash drive, etc.) for
them to for saving in your version.

You really went from a newer version to an older and no
longer have the newer??????

 

[JoAnn Paules]

My mistake. I assumed you still had the older version. How many files do you
have?

Shoot! I was hoping there was some secret somewhere..:0)

I have 17, files in about a half a dozen folders (if that matters).

What is really weird is that there is no way for me to confirm what program
version these were built and saved in. Strange situation, but it had to do
with first having Office XP on this computer and not liking it, so due to
only having a license for one. We put Office XP on our office laptop and
then I installed my good old Office 2000. I thought I had removed all of the
Components of Office XP, because I know the Publisher program I was using was
just like Office 2000's Publisher, but I never checked it or noted it
anywhere... "my bad" I tell ya! All was good for over one year! Then Word
started acting really weird, so just a couple weeks ago I deleted and
reinstall all of my Micrsoft Office 2000. I spent a good deal of time
searching for fixes and this seemed to be the best route to go. Tonight, for
the first time since this reinstall, I went to open a Publisher file and saw
that I never re-installed the 2nd Disc with this program with Publisher on
it. I first just installed Publisher and then I went back and also install
all the other features on this 2nd Disc. All along and with many attempts at
opening the files, I always get this message. Would attempting a program
"repair" be of any help?

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me. You can only spend so many hours
searching through Google and feel yourself becoming more confused as time
goes on.....:0)

Normally I wouldn't offer this for so many files but it's late and I'm
mentally fried............Send the files to jl dot paules at gmail dot com.
I'll save them as Pub 2000 for you. It may take me a day or two (my
calendar's kind of full this time of year) but you'll have it done.

JoAnn,

A friend of mine agreed to re-save these files for me. I just got them
emailed back and they are working fine.

Thanks so very much for your offer and assistance. Keep up the great work!!
