Version of Publisher document

[Susie W]

Is there a way to know the version of a Publisher document?

Also, I have a few documents converted from 2000 to 2002 which will not open
in 2003. Any ideas?

Thanks.

There should be no reason why you cannot open older versions of Publisher
documents in 2003.

Do you have Norton?

A updated security fix has prevented Publisher 2003 from opening 2.0
publications.

No Norton. I am converting many documents from 2000 to 2002 and already have
three that will open in 2002 but not 2003. If you wait long enough (1/2 hour
or more), they will open in 2003, but then you can't do anything with them.
I have an issue open with Microsoft, they are finding the same results. Just
thought you'd have an idea, as you seem to solve everyone's problems.

Mapped drives?

Mapped drives? I copied the file to my c: drive and it still won't open.

Long time to open? 2000 files surely did take a long time to open during
conversion, but once it's converted to 2002/2003, it should open quickly (as
it does in 2002).

Thanks for your replies. You are a kind soul for doing this.

Did you do what the first article advised? Right-click My Computer, disconnect
network drive.

It is not hanging up looking for the file in the Look in or Save in dialog
boxes. It even shows the correct number of page tabs in the document, just
can't open it.

Thanks!
