Publisher has encountered a problem and needs to close.

[john d]

Some of my Office 2003 programs seem to be having the same error. Among them
is Publisher 2003. An error message pops up saying "MIcrosft Office Publisher
has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience." The resolutions for this problem that I have seen from the
Knowledge Base are concerning the Microsoft Office Publisher 2002. Are these
suggestions good for the 2003 version as well or are there other possible
remedies?

As you haven't told us the error (that's just a general error message,
nothing to do with the issue itself) how are we supposed to know what it
is?! There are no fixes for that error because - guess what?! - it isn't an
error. When you have searched the Windows error log, and post back with the
correct message, then someone may be able to assist. Until then...have you
made sure your printer and graphics drivers are up-to-date?
