Publisher 2002

[Mr Geologist]

What has happened to Publisher. In Office suite for 2000
contained Publisher. At the release of 2002, Publisher was
not included. However, when I went to Microsoft's site,
every reference for Publisher 2002, went back to the
office suite. Then, Office 2003 included Publisher again.
I want to find out if Publisher 2002 is truly part of the
Office package or if that is at an additional cost AND I
need to find out if it is not part of the package, why did
they just pull it out of 2002?

It depended on the version of Office you owned. I believe only OEM versions
of XP came with Publisher. As for why they may not have included it, it
really doesn't matter nor can I answer that question. That version is not
the newest version available.

If you own Office XP and don't have Publisher, you'll have to purchase Pub
2003. I actually prefer 2003 to 2002 anyway. Has some new cool features.
