LPOWELL3 was very recently heard
to utter:
Without having to purchase Publisher, is there a viewer available for
download to view Publisher files? For Version 2000? For Version
2003?

No.

You can order the trial version of Publisher 2003, which is able to view
Publisher files from all versions since 2.0 at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/publ...nfo/trial.mspx
