problem opening with pub 2003 a Publisher brochure made in 2000

[MickR]

A brochure created in Pub 2000 does not open properly in Pub 2003. To avoid
recreating this brochure in Pub 2003. is there another way

Please explain "doesn't open properly".

After 2003 converts the file the publication is scrambled slightly, ie text
boxes move out of kilter particularly word art text boxes

Please explain "doesn't open properly".

The WordArt in Publisher 2000 is not the same as the WordArt in 2003. You will lose
some formatting in the conversion. There is a WordArt compatibility tool you can
download. To use it, insert, object, scroll down to "Microsoft WordArt 3.2."
