how do I open files from other versions in Publisher 98?

[Papillon007]

I have Publisher 98, and am trying to open a Publisher file emailed to me
from someone else. I don't know what version they have, but I would guess
it's from Windows ME, because I know they don't have XP. And when I try to
open it in my Publisher, it says, "Publisher cannot open files from a
different version". Is there any update or anything I can download to fix
this, or do I have to buy a different version, or is there a way the other
person could save their file so that I could open it? Thanks very much.

You need to get the sender of the file to go File > Save As... > Publisher
98.
