Publisher 200 crashes with "performed illegal operation"

[Bill C]

I have a few Pub 2000 files on a flash disk and only one, the one I absolutely need, crashes when I try to open it. Pub starts to open but shuts down before anything else happens. Any suggestions as to why only one file does this. It is virtually all text at this point, I had imported text from other documents but everything was working fine until I tried to open it today.

Any help would be appreciated

Put the file on your hard drive then try opening it. Publisher does not like to open
files from floppies, flash disks, CD's or any other type of removable storage.

Hi JoAnn,
He may want to try to recover the text and re-do the publication, it probably is a
bad image.

I've been working on his file/ It's on my hard disk and it will not open.
The moment you try it shuts down the program. No error message, just BLINK!
and it's closed. The file is corrupt and I cannot seem to find a way to
bypass that fact.
