Publisher 95 will only open Publisher 1.0 and 2.0. Publisher 95 is a 16 bit program.
Maybe your sender can convert the document to PDF. Or send it to me and I will
convert it to PDF for you. I can open the 97 document but I won't be able to convert
it to 95 for you.
Remove "my" to reply...

Thanks but that is ok about converting it. Is there a version of Publisher
that is compatible with all versions and will open any and all publisher
docs.?

Publisher 2002 and 03 will open all versions of Publisher. I can open all versions,
the rub comes in when you try to convert it to 95.

Mary Sauer was very recently heard to utter:
Publisher 2002 and 03 will open all versions of Publisher.


Except for 1.0 files. :-)
