Trial & Open pub file

[Karen Orman]

I was sent a publisher file by email for a newsletter/web site. I use
Microsoft Publisher 98, and when I try to open these files I get error
message saying "Publisher cannot open files from a different version".
OK - but how do I know what version the file is which I received by e-mail?

Also, is there a way to download a trial of Publisher 2003? Even for
university students/web developers?
Thanks so much.

If your sender used any newer version of Publisher you will not be able to open
the file. Your sender can "save as" a 98 Publisher document. Some formatting
maybe lost.
Trial downloads of Publisher are no longer available. You can get a trial
version of the Office 2003 suite by CD. It is good for 30 days. Doesn't help if
you need the Publisher file now.

If you need the file converted and your sender cannot do the conversion, send it
to me and I will save it as a 98 file.

Thank you Mary - I have emailed me separately and await your reply. I hope
you can convert to pub 98 for me.
Many thanks.... Karen

Trial downloads of Publisher are no longer available.

Trial versions of Publisher were never, in my knowledge, available for
download, due to the large filesize that would bre required.

You can get a trial version of the Office 2003 suite by CD.

Trial CD availability has now been discontinued.

The best you can do is download the 2007 Office Beta; this comes with
the severe caveat that you will be installing incomplete test versions
of software onto your machine. Whilst it should work fine, it could hose
the contents of all of your disks and Microsoft would bear no blame.
