publisher 98 files won't open in publisher 2003
When trying to open .pub files created in publisher 98 I receive a message
"Publisher can't open the file". I have tried disabling Norton Antivirus 2006, print spooler, script blocking and all of the other solutions posted, but still have the problem. I have windows xp home. The files I am trying to open do contain a large number of graphics (adds in a parish newsletter). I have tried cutting the text and image frames from the open file in publisher 98, that doesn't work either. What can I try to get these files to open or to convert them so theyt will open?

publisher 98 files won't open in publisher 2003
In Publisher 2003, disable view, pictures, detailed display. Do you have the
same printer that you had when you created the 98 file? Have you tried opening the file in safe mode? -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "dfaetanini" wrote in message news  When trying to open .pub files created in publisher 98 I receive a message "Publisher can't open the file".

publisher 98 files won't open in publisher 2003
file will not open even in safe mode, printer is the same one as when
original 98 file was created, disabling detailed display and view pictures didn't help. Any other thoughts? "Mary Sauer" wrote: In Publisher 2003, disable view, pictures, detailed display.

publisher 98 files won't open in publisher 2003
Do you have a fast connection? Can you send it to me, I will try to open it in
2000 and 2002 and 2003. If I can open the file in one of these versions, I will resave it and send it back. mary-sauer at columbus dot rr dot com -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "dfaetanini" wrote in message ... file will not open even in safe mode, printer is the same one as when original 98 file was created, disabling detailed display and view pictures didn't help.

publisher 98 files won't open in publisher 2003
Another thought, does your 98 file have WordArt? There was a change in WordArt
with the 2002 version. There is a compatibility utility. You might want to delete the WordArt in your file, it may open in 2003.

publisher 98 files won't open in publisher 2003
The file would not open in 2003, however it opened in 2000. I saved it in 2000;
it then opened in 2003. No WordArt, nothing unusual about the 98 file. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Mary Sauer" wrote in message ...
