How do I paint over a section of a page in Publisher 2007?

[Watchman275]

I have been using Microsoft Picture It to make business cards, brochures, and
collages. I now have a new VISTA computer with Publisher 2007. After
transferring files, I realize that Publisher does not open my .png files! I
am trying to paint over some sections of the .png files after importing them
as .jpg.

Anyone have the answer? For example, on my business cards, I would have
text boxes and picture boxes with logos. Now in publisher, those old
business cards are one image combined.

Should I consider going back to Microsoft Picture It? Any other software
one would recommend?
