Publisher 2003

[cooter3176]

I just spent 3 hours creating a publidher file that is 41mb, had no problem
creating it, and I saved the file fine, but after I closed it and went to
reopen it publisher tells me it can not open the file. Has anyone else
encounted this and does anyone know how I can get it to open. I am running
xp, with 760 mb of ram and plenty of hd space. Any help would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks.

Mary,

Thanks for the link, I tried everything in the kb but nothing worked. This
only seems to happen when I created a publisher 2003 file larger than 20mb,
is there any known bug that causes this and more importantly is there a fix
out there. I did try to right click the file and convert it to adobe pdf,
but adobe can not convert it and tells me to make sure that my permissions
are set up correctly, but I am the only user on this pc and listed as the
administrator. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You could bring your images into a editing program and reduce the resolution.
Most times when Publisher balks it is a picture problem.
