How do I open pub 2003 in pub 2007
I backed my publisher 2003 files to a portable disk. Now I need to open them
in publisher 2007. When sending them from my portable disk to my documents, I am not given the choice of publisher when I am asked what program to open with. I am offered word,adobe,paint,word pad etc but no publisher. I know I'm not very sharp at this...please help. I am in computer heck since the computer repair dude erased my harddrive by boo-boo. -- Life was good before I bought a new PC

How do I open pub 2003 in pub 2007
Okay...all of the files I have restored to my documents are listed as PHP
files and won't open anywhere. How do I change them back to PUB files. I saved them to my pocket drive as 2003 pub files before my hard drive was erased. Now I need to open them in vista with 2007. Any ides about what I am doing wrong and why I can't open anything? -- Life was good before I bought a new PC "get real" wrote: that is even too simple even for for me!...they are opening in adobe only.. when I reset my default program for php files, publisher is not an option.

How do I open pub 2003 in pub 2007
"get real" wrote in message ... Yikes none of my files will open...help1 Just taking a little break might help. Take a deep breath.... Harder to think and figure things out when stressed. I know that's not the answer to opening the files, but have learned from personal experience sometimes just letting it go, the answer(s) come. I'm trying to think, I changed to Pub 2007 and had my files from 03 saved on DVDs (to save space on the hd) But they were PUB files. Some I have opened in 07 and I think a box comes up saying it's different and some formatting might change or be different. When it says OPEN WITH and there's no Publisher, isn't there a link to browse and find it? Like in CProgram Files. I put the question/problem into google to see what's there (I was curious to find out) and came up with a few posts, but not sure I understand them. It almost sounds like you didn't save the files in Pub 2003 like you thought. One http://www.eggheadcafe.com/forumarch...st26027840.asp Both John and Ed answered this in 2006 so if they can't help you now, maybe there's something in the ng search you can find about it. -- Life was good before I bought a new PC "get real" wrote: Okay...all of the files I have restored to my documents are listed as PHP files and won't open anywhere.

I have moved them to my hard drive as Mary suggested in another post, but cannot open in Publisher. I am a month behind on my work. Help please ============================================= Microsoft Publisher 2003 is not compatible with .php files. Are you absolutely positive the files were created with Microsoft Publisher and not Microsoft Home Publishing? If the files were created in MS Publisher 2003...there is a slim chance that changing the file extensions to .pub would be worth a try. Could you upload one of the files to the following site so we could download it and experiment with it? "YouSendIt" http://www.yousendit.com/ All you have to do is enter an e-mail address in the "To:" (Recipient) field and click the "Browse" button to select the file you wish to upload. Then click the "Send It" button. The next screen that appears will give you the download link. Just copy/paste it into your newsgroup reply. -- John Inzer MS Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk
