If you are properly licensed, you can install Publisher 2003 once you have
installed a version of Windows on which it is supported. You could install
a trial of Windows XP or a trial of Windows Server 2003 (although Windows
Server 2003 is harder to use and to install).
Note that you will have to uninstall your new version of Windows once the
trial expires unless you upgrade to the full version. This could cause
further problems.

I'm curious where he got a copy of "Windows 2003". Must be a private issue.

But that's Windows Server 2003, not Windows 2003. Kinda of suspect that the
OP doesn't have that.

It's quite possible that the OP has Server 2003. It is the only common
version of Windows to have 2003 in the name, and you know how many people
don't really care about getting the product name perfect.

There's a lot of truth in that!

No, but it *can* run Office XP. Doing it - and only have a Pentium MMX (200
MHz) with 64 Mb RAM.
