Default Opening Pub 2000 file in 2002 version

I created pub files in 2000 version and saved to removable drive. My labtop
crashed and now I am trying to open files on my desktop which has 2003 pub
version. it says cannot open with this version. What do I do to open and edit
these 2000 files in 2003 version?

Do you have Norton?

Copy the files to your hard drive and try opening them again. Publisher files do
not do well on removable media.

Default Opening Pub 2000 file in 2002 version

I don't know if an expired version of Norton interferes with opening Publisher
files, can you open it anyway and disable the Office Plug-in?

Are these files on your hard drive?

Default Opening Pub 2000 file in 2002 version

I have never been able to open them with Norton expired or not. This has
always been a problem and I have always had to edit the files using my labtop
with the 2000 version. W.hen my labtop crashed I knew this would be an issue.
I did turn the office plug in off and it still would not open the 2000 files
on my desktop.
The files are on my hard drive but not my desktop hard drive, it is another
hard drive my husdand had set up in case out labtops or desktops crashed. We
save everything to it?? Sorry I am not the most computer friendly when it
comes to IT stuff.

Hey Patrice, Can you send me one of the files? You could try buying Publisher
2000 from eBay or a vintage software reseller.
