Opening 2003 files with 2000

[Marty]

I am trying to open MS Publisher 2003 files with MS
Publisher 2000 for editing the 2003 files with 2000.

I am running MS Windows 98 SE.

Is there way to do it?

I'm having exactly the same problem. My friend has 2003
and saves the file in 2000 format. When I try to load it
with 2000 I get the "cannot open files from earlier
version message". I tried disabling NAV on both ends -
didn't help. I've read that 2003 produces significantly
smaller files than 2000 yet the 2003 and 2000 files are
nearly the same size. This suggests 2003 is not really
saving it in true 2000 format. I'm not far away from
going out and buying 2003.

If you do get 2003 you will need either Windows 2000 or newer.

When Publisher 2003 saves files as 2000 (or 98), compression IS lost.

I've got the same problem. None of the replies to the original post have
explained the problem that saving as 2000 doesn't seem to work. Doesn't for
me. Any other solution?

Thanks

So Brian, you agree the 2000 files should be larger than
the 2003, but they're not. Just 3kb larger out of 1.7mb.

I didn't mean to be anounymous.

It depends on what is in the file.

Can you explain your situation, steps and versions of Publisher and your
OS's involved.

Sender is using Win98 and Publisher 2002, not using NAV, saving as Publisher
2000

I'm using WinXP, SP-1, Publisher 2000, not using NAV

Thanks!
