Publisher 02 asks for Publisher 00 Premium CD

[Walterius]

My Canon iP1500 prints reds as a sort of red-orange-salmon, so I wanted to
see if it was the printer ink or what.

I printed a test file (seven rectangles of C, M, Y, K, and R, G, B) in
PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2 (which is the only Office 2000 Premium product on
my computer) and again in Publisher 02. Results were identical.

I then asked Publisher 02 to "improve color matching between printer and
screen" (a feature of Publisher 00), and it asked for the Office 2000
Premium SR1 CD 2 (i.e. Publisher 00). This is unfair. Even my PhotoDraw 2 is
not SR1. It is the three-CD set (2.0.0.0915) that MSFT briefly offered as a
free upgrade to PhotoDraw 1.

Anybody got any ideas? My overall goal of course is to print reds in red!

Normally when Office asks for a specific disk it is trying to install a feature.
Your printer may need an updated driver.

Mary,

Thanks for your kind help. I installed the current Canon driver, but no joy.
Publisher 2002 still wanted the Office *2000* SR1 CD1 [which doesn't even
contain Publisher]! And I still get red-orange instead of red. Oh, well. I
don't do professional stuff any more, so it really doesn't matter.

Thanks again.
