cannot open old files
Hi, I have just downloaded Publisher 2003 on my laptop. When I click on an
old file created with Publisher 2000, I get a message that says that Publisher cannot find the file that I specified and the dialogue box will allow me to search for it on my hard drive. I read the other threads and disabled the anti-virus software but that didn't seem to do anything. Help! -- Elsa Larsen

Is the file on your hard drive? What happens when you double-click the file, does
Publisher open? -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "elsa larsen" wrote in message ...

It is saved on my desk top. When I double click on the file publisher opens
but that file (or any other file that is in my documents) doesn't. -- Elsa Larsen "Mary Sauer" wrote: Is the file on your hard drive?

Sarah Balfour was very recently
heard to utter: Hi, I have just downloaded Publisher 2003 on my laptop. Downloaded, eh....? Sorry, but we don't assist thieves. If I had a penny for the number of times I've heard someone say "downloaded" when they meant "installed". The vast majority of people these days who use computers cannot use the correct technical jargon. (c.f. Office 2002, Office 98 on Windows 97, Publisher XP, etc. ad nauseam) -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher

If she doesn't want to be accused of theft, then she should learn the difference between installation and downloading. I cannot understand why people confuse the two. It was purely a shock tactic.

If she doesn't want to be accused of theft, then she should learn the difference between installation and downloading. I cannot understand why people confuse the two. It was purely a shock tactic. I thought as much. I figured I'd provide the context to allow Elsa to work out where she went wrong, rather than just becoming angry and defensive like she might have if she had read your post on its own. -- Ed Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher
