I have publisher 2002 but isn't recognised by vista

[MATZ]

I have downloaded my publisher 2002 onto new computer with Vista. Although I
can go through the publisher icon and open all my old publisher documents, I
can't open them by double clicking on them and publisher doesn't show up in
browse if right click and open with selected.

Sounds like Publisher is operating fine and
you just need to adjust your file associations:
