Open Files from Different Versions

[Renee]

I have Publisher 2000 and upgraded to 6.0 recently but now
I can't open old files created by 2000 but a different
version. Can't find any info on the web site as far as a
patch or conversion.

Anyone have info?

That is what was strange. Both the file and the software
(under help, about) say 2000 but when I try to open the
file it says it can't open different versions.

I thought maybe there were different versions of 2000
(i.e. 5.0, 6.0, etc.)

Our IT people upgraded the software from what I thought
was 98 to 2000. If it was really 2002 then the software
under help, about) should say 2002 not 2000, right?

We use Norton when created and currently.

I'm really confused as to why this is happening.

Well, you can't tell the file version by looking under
help>about. That will only tell you the application
version.

So, you need to make sure you are using the same version
of Publisher and make sure that you have disabled script
blocking and the Office Add_in under Norton antivirus.

Also, if you need, you can email the file to me at
(e-mail address removed) and I will be able to find out the
version of the file.

Brian is this yet another case today of too much imbibing in a pale coloured
brown drink??? LOL

1. Microsoft Publisher 6.0 is the same thing as Microsoft
Publisher 6.0
