Microsoft Publisher 2003

[Rev. Frederick F. Batiste Jr.]

I am planning on purchasing the new Office 2003. However,
all the documents I created in 2003 trial cannot be opened
on other computers who do not have 2003. Can these
documents be converted or should I give up on 2003? It is
a pain.

Also, is there free customer service? The product is too
expensive to have to pay for support, especially when it's
their fault.

HELP NEIGHBORS!

After managing to set up OE-QuoteFix on his new PC, Ed reads a message

I am planning on purchasing the new Office 2003. However,

Yes they can. Any computer with Publisher 2002 can open any document
created with Publisher 2003.

Can these
documents be converted or should I give up on 2003?

If you still have the ability to save, you can convert the documents to
Publisher 98 or Publisher 2000 format.
You can also convert to PDF, which is readable by virtually anyone with a
PC - see http://www.mvps.org/publisher/sharing.html

Also, is there free customer service?

There is no free support for the demo.
There is free support for installation issues with the release, but for help
with the product you either have to pay or ask here (cheaper and probably
better in terms of quality of answer - we have some great people here).
Customer *service* comes as standard )

especially when it's
their fault.

What is their fault?

 

[°°°MS°Publisher°°°]

I don't who is 'their fault'. You are responsible for your own actions, or
at least should be, and stop blaming others for your deficiencies. You
would have received a warning before you saved over earlier version
documents.

If you read the HELP file you would see in Publisher 2003 you can SAVE AS
back to Publisher 98 versions.

If you are a legal non-profit organisation MS will normally allow you to buy
at education price

What do you think this is 'paid' customer support.

You are getting all the best technical expertise here that exists for
Publisher. What is it costing you - NOTHING.

I think you seriously need therapy - INCREDIBLE some people!!!

Don't hesitate to post back any time with anything for Publisher not only
technical matters, but please read carefully what you write before you push
the Send button.

HELP THOSE THAT CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES OR TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THEMSELVES - AMEN
