Opening publisher 97 with a later version

[rjdaa]

I have publisher 97 on my windows xp and it works fine. However, I had someone refine some work I had done and apparently they used a later version of Publisher because when I loaded their CD, I got the message "Publisher cannot load files from a different version"

What can I do--does this mean I have to buy a later version to match the version he used, or do I have to buy one of those programs that can open other programs. If I do the later, will I be able to use my 97 version to make changes once I get the files open on the later version

Thanks

No, you cannot open a file that was changed and saved in a newer
version with the older software - except I believe you can open a
2003 file in 2002. (If I'm mistaken, would someone kindly let me
know?)

No you're not. ;o)
