Upgrading to Publisher 2007, while in Office 2003 SP2

Hi David,
According to the Publisher 2007 requirements, it will only use Outlook 2007,
Outlook Express 6.0 or Microsoft Mail (Internet Explorer 7)

If what JoAnn says is true, then perhaps you should look for an alternative to
Winfax. Or since you have the ability to cloan your old setup, try installing
just Pub 2007 with a custom install, and test it. I don't have Outlook 2003
installed, and would be curious about your results. I can't imagine why MSFT
would strip away the email as a message function from Outlook 2003 if you
upgrade to Pub 2007, while OE still works, but...

My question is in 3 parts:
- Can I upgarde to Publisher 2007 only, while still using the other
applications within Office 2003? if so, will I be able to email a Publisher
2007 document through Outlook 2003 (as I am able to with Publisher 2003)?
- I have purchased Office 2007 Professional Upgrade, and am curious to know
if I can limit my upgrade (using custom installation options) to Publisher
2007 only, or do I have to purchase a Publisher 2007 stand alone version?
- I installed, but did not activate, a recently purchased version of Office
2007 Professional (Upgrade) to test it with other software and found:
- Symantec WinFax Pro 10.02 will no longer recognize Outlook contacts,
for
use in faxing from Office 2003 applications (absolutely necessary for
me)
- WinFax Pro macros are no longer picked up by 2007 Excel, Word.
- Adobe Acrobat Professional 8.0 add-ins are not registered.
I cloned an old hard drive to test Office 2007 prior to counting on it...

Any input would be apprciated

JoAnn,

Got it! Thanks.

It's not fully compatible. I'm not saying that it won't work - it will to
varying degrees. I can create a .pdf file but I can't enable user rights
to make a form to users with Reader v7 or 8 can fill out and save the
file.

I don't understand the comment that Acrobat is not compatible with Office
2007. I have been using Office 2007 since January 30, 2007 with Adobe
Acrobat 6.0 to produce .pdf for e-mailing our clubs news letter. However,
it is not an add-in, just a printer driver. Even primopdf and win2pdf work
in the same manner.

Yes, you can upgrade Publisher alone.

No, you cannot email a Pub 2007 doc with Outlook 2003.

Yes, you could get Office Pro and only upgrade Publisher but that sounds
like a tremendous waste of money.

I don't fax anything so I can't help there.

Acrobat is not fully compatible with Office 2007 or Vista yet. v8 was
released before those products so testing is still underway. A patch for
v8 is scheduled for sometime mid-year. Earlier versions of Acrobat will
not be patched.

Symantec has divested itself from WinFax Pro, so that is not an option. MS
Vista Business & Ultimate Operating Systems have a full fax program, but will
create other AutoCAD and program conflict issues.

My next attempt will be Publisher 2007 Upgrade to Office 2003. I want the
enhanced wide format printing capabilities in Publisher 2007...

Bug Symantec for a new version of WinFax. Don't hold your breath though,
as Symantec is a pain in the proverbials.

....but Office 2007 does come with its own PDF add-in that is more
reliable than Adobe's offering.

Yes, I am saying that you need matched versions if you want to use the Send
to feature to include the Publisher document in the body. As an attachment
is a different story.

I just checked on my old computer. It has Pub 2007 and Outlook Express
(Outlook as well but not the default program). I cannot send a Pub 2007 file
in the body of an email on that computer. The option does not even exist. On
this computer I can do that with Pub 2003 or 2007 with Outlook. I have
Windows Mail but it's not the default program. Since it's the latest version
there is no version of Publisher newer than it to test it out.


From http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pu...743381033.aspx Pub
2003 (near the bottom)
"To send a single page as an e-mail message or to preview it before sending,
you must have Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 or Microsoft Outlook Express
(version 5.x or 6.0) installed on your computer. "

Please not that it doesn't mention previous versions of Outlook.

Surely that can't be true? I don't use Outlook, but didn't Pub 2003
require Outlook 2002 or newer (and OE5 or newer)? Are you saying that if I
were to upgrade Pub 2003 by buying and installing Pub 2007 only, and use
Outlook 2003 as my default email client, that I would loose the ability to
email a Publisher email publication as a message using Outlook 2003...or
even Outlook 2002? Is this perhaps just the case for the new email merge
function that is available with Pub 2007, rather than just sending one
message? Surely MSFT would not hobble Pub 2007 like that...tell me it
ain't so...

What about using the new email client that comes with Vista and replaced
OE? Does that work?

Same version of Outlook or newer, not older. Outlook Express is a

I don't understand JoAnn's response. I can email a Publisher 2007
document as a message in OE6, so I see no reason why you should not be
able to use Pub 2007 with Outlook 2003 as you did with Pub 2003. I have
read that while you can generally run multiple versions of Office on the
same computer, you cannot run multiple versions of Outlook. You might try
a custom install of Office 2007 without Outlook 2007, although Symantic
has never played well with Office, and you might get other conflicts.

Thanks. I do know that you can send as a message using OE6 from both Pub
2003 and 2007...been there and done that. And if you follow the link that
Mary provided it also says that you can. As per not being able to send as a
message using Outlook 2003 from Pub 2007, that's a shame.

A heckuva lot more than I do about creating websites with Publisher. See

I don't know about sending Publisher emails through Outlook 2003, because now
that I've installed a trial version of Pub.07, I can't even get Outlook to
open.

Any advice?
