Default How can I open a Publisher 3.0 file in Publisher 2000?

My cousin gave me a Publisher 3.0 file and I have Publisher 2000. When I try
opening it in Publisher 2000 it gives me the error "Publisher can not open
files from a different version." How can I open this file? Can anyone
convert it for me? Thank you.

If you have Norton, disabling script blocking might help facilitate opening the file.
If that doesn't do it, send it to me and I will convert the file to 2000.

I don't have Norton. There are twelve files in total that need to be
converted. I appreciate your help, I will send you a link shortly to
download the files, they are quite large. Thanks again.

This file is available for 14 days from the date shown on this email,

Sarah, I did not have your email address. These files are huge. Publisher 2000 does
not compress images. In one of the files Publisher could not convert the image so I
extracted it and it is separate from the file. The zip files are broken up into 3
folders.

I put the files on this web page. They will take a while to download... It took quite
awhile for the upload.

More than likely, they are sending you Publisher 2002/2003 files. Have them
save the files in 2000 file format (File Save As and change file type to
2000).

All versions after 3.0 still show 3.0 internally as the version number.
