Pub 2007 File Won't Open

[Katie]

I've spent 2 days working on a newsletter and I go to open it this evening
and I keep getting the crashing message that an error has occured and
Publisher must restart. I've run the Office Diagnostics and tried all their
troubleshooting suggestions but cannot get this file to open.

Any ideas?

You may have inadvertently changed the file extension in the file name.
Before selecting it to open, check to see that the file name ends in .pub
If that doesn't work, try opening Publisher first and then selecting this
document under the FILE menu > OPEN (it should appear in the list of recent
files you've worked on.)
If that doesn't work, try opening an earlier publication and then using the
FILE menu > OPEN and then browse to the new file.
If none of these works, your file may be corrupt.

Disable any plug-ins you may have such as Acrobat.

Is your printer driver current? Use a different printer as the default before
you open Publisher.
What does the message say? Is there a number associated with the error message?
