I have MS Publisher 2003 on computer, My son instaled MS publisher 2.0a from
1991-1993 now when I try to open anything I have done on 2003 the old program
takes over and can not open the file. I haved looked for the older program to
uninstall but all I can find is the 2003 program. Can someone please help?!!!

The old program was designed for Windows 3.x, so does not add an uninstaller
to Add/Remove Programs.

You can use Help > Detect and Repair in Publisher 2003 to reset Publisher
2003 to open Publisher documents.

================================
Did you try changing your file associations?
Navigate to one of your .pub files and right
click it...from the menu...choose...Properties /
General tab / Change button...Choose...
Microsoft Office Publisher / OK / Apply / OK.

Here's some info about eliminating the
Pub 2.0a program:

Uninstall Publisher 2.0

I think you will find the folder at:
C:\MSPUB.
