How do I open an older version Publisher file with Publisher 2000

[Stephanie Merriman]

I have a file that was created in an older version of publisher. When I
attempt to open it in Publisher 2000, I get an error message that says
"Publisher cannot open files from a different version"

If you have Norton, disable "script blocking" and maybe "Office Plug-ins" in the
Norton options menu.

Thank you for your response. I made the changes in Norton, but it sis not
help. Any other Ideas.

Remove the NAV garbage-ware completely and replace with AVG. Problem
solved.

It could be that your file that you are trying to open is actually from
Publisher 2003 or 2002. Be sure to have them save the file as a Publisher
2000 file by going to File > Save As and change the File Type to Publisher
2000.

Good thing I checked the poster's name. I thought David was replying!

Since someone else brought this topic up, and it means I'm not posting
another off-topic message:

A buddy of mine has just downloaded AVG 7.0. He cannot see where his
outgoing messages are certified as virus free, not do his statistics
indicate AVG has scanned incoming messages for viruses. Are you using
7.0 yet and if you are, can you tell - for sure - that your incoming and
outgoing messages are scanned? The ones you sent to me didn't have the
disclaimer at the bottom.

I upgraded to AVG 7.0.296 yesterday and had to disable it about as fast.
Previous versions worked fine, but this one is causing all kinds of trouble.

Sarah,

Removing all of Norton from a computer is the challenge of the
century. It would be easier to break the Enigma Machine code.<G>

I never said it would be easy, Don - it's like removing AOHELL - a reformat
will be necessary.

Michael - Davey doesn't have the monopoly on hating NAV, y'know.

I've corrected that anomaly - the correct boxes weren't checked under email
scanning - everything should be OK now. FYI, I'm running 7.00.260 and it's a
paid three-year licence. If you bring up the Control Centre and open the
email section and click configure under the plugins tab. Make sure both mail
check boxes are ticked as well as both certify boxes. I've fixed it now -
I've no idea why this isn't the default condition.

What sort of trouble, Ron? I've had the paid version for a year and had no
problems whatsoever.

It doesn't get along well with MailWasher and prevents opening the inbox.
I'm going check for a MailWasher update and then reinstall both products.
Hopefully that should resolve the problem. At this point it's really no more
than a minor irritation.
