Publisher 2003 loading Publisher 2000 files
Hello,
I surely hope I am missing something or there is something that can be done to alleviate the numerous issues I have with my upgrade to Publisher 2003. We have been using Publisher since Publisher 98....and have been using it almost exclusively for design work. I was in the process of updating our machines and as such had to update our OS and other software accordingly. The problem is, Publisher 2003 seems to have absolutely no conherence when it comes to reproducing the work originally created in Publisher 2000. Just about every peice of formatting is in some way or form changes or downright broken from the way we had it setup. We have thousands of Publisher files in previous formats, and it is extremely unlikely that recreating them would be possible. Publisher 2003 even crashes loading some files that Publisher 2000 has no problem with. Currently we have reinstalled Publisher 2000 alongside 2003, but it even has an issue running on WindowsXP and will often crash stating low memory resources and ask to save the open file to a '.tmp' file. (I found sites mentioning this and modified temp sizes accordingly but it can still give this error at times) Is there some way to alleviate the problems we are having? I understand a lot of the changes made with regard to consistency to other office products, but is there no way of reliably using the recent version to edit our files? Thanks in advance. |

Publisher 2003 loading Publisher 2000 files
Publisher 2000 did not use compression, consequently it produced large files.
Large Publisher 2000 publication opens slowly in Publisher 2002 or 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/289010/en-us Norton will cause issues. Disable script blocking and Office Plug In. Text that flows around pictures reflows incorrectly when you open a Publisher 2000 publication in Publisher 2003 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/826359/en-us WordArt is not the same, however you can download the compatibility utility. You use it by insert, object, scroll down to WordArt 3.2. Publisher 2003/2002 Add-in: WordArt Compatibility http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en If you install Publisher 2000 in its own folder you may have less problems. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "defiance" wrote in message ...
