Publisher 1998 & 2003

[Bob Ferester]

I have Publisher 1998 running in Windows 2000. Someone
has sent me a file created in Publisher 2003 and when I
try to open it I get an error message that it cannot open
files from a newer Publisher edition. I have been told
this should not be a problem but that I have to go to this
go to get an answer. Could someone please tell me how to
fix this problem short of buying Publisher 2003.
Thank you

Bob, contact the sender and have them save the Publisher 2003 file as
a Publisher 98 file. They just need to go to File > Save As > and change
the file type to Publisher 98. --
