Nowhere. Why on *earth* do you want a trial of a long-discontinued version?!

 

[Jerry]

Because it's the only thing that works on a Windows 98 machine. And
Microsoft doesnt make a viewer for publisher files.

Publisher 2002 works on a Windows 98 machine, FWIW. However, that trial too
is no longer available. Not sure if you can find a Pub 2000/2002 trial via
www.google.com or not.

I've no idea where you got that idea from - Publisher 2002 runs flawlessly
under 98 - though it is the last version to support it.

LOL, no I didnt just find the hack for it actually I have about 2000
docs that are in pub format and I want my users to be able to view them,
they are using windows 98 machines and we cant afford to buy that many
copies. So in turn I wanted to find either a 2000 or 2002 version of
publisher trial because after the trial period ends you can still view the
file but just cant edit it. Unless anyone knows of a free pub viewer.


Jerry

I never though of that. I did imagine him finding the 2000 trial versin
somewhere - only to learn is file is a 2003 file.

Ever the cynic, I thought Jer musta just found a hack code for Pub2000
and was now looking for the program to match

my bad

 

[Jerry]

So true, Thanks everyone for your help.



Jerry

Then what you REALLY need is to create .pdfs from those files. Who cares
about what software your end target user has installed - almost everyone
and
their mom has Acrobat Reader on their computer. Yes, I know - you said you
have about 2000 files but nobody ever said life was gonna be easy, did
they?
