Trying to open a Publisher file from School

Dad of 5

At school kids have PUB 03 or 07 file they created and at we have Home PUB
00, we cannot open their file? Am I out of luck?

Microsoft Home Publishing and Microsoft Publisher are two completely
separate, different, and unfortunately similarly-named applications.
Their filetypes are incompatible.

You could download the trial version. It would allow you to open and edit
the file during the trial period. After that, it becomes just a viewer - no
editing.

======================================
If you are trying to say MS Home Publishing 2000...
that is a completely different program and is not
compatible with 'any' version of MS Publisher.

And even if you had MS Publisher 2000, it would not
be compatible with Pub 2003 or 2007 files unless
they were saved in advance as Pub2000 files.

Next time your kids are in school maybe the teacher
would allow them to create a .pdf file from their project.
You could view that with Adobe Reader.

Or...if you can download their .pub project file to your
hard drive...you could upload it to the following free
site and post the link here. I'm sure someone would
be happy to convert it to .pdf for you so you could
view it.

They might want to have someone offer to and give an email, not put their
school project (maybe with names on it) up on the internet directly.
Just a thought.
But, good link to save (for others reading this who might be able to use
it sometime)

I didn't know it becomes a viewer after the trial.
That's good to know.
