Do you have Norton? Disable "script blocking", under options, disable "Office
plug-ins". Try double-clicking the file. Or right-click, properties, opens with...
change and point to Publisher.

I did the disable script blocking and disable office
plugins under Norton. After doing so...I tried double-
clicking the file and also right clicked etc under
properties to open. Still same message..."Cannot open
files from a different version of Publisher" Is there any
type of conversion program that I can use to convert all
of my files? Thank you for you help so far!

Fleming, How many files are we talking about? Can you use zip? I will convert them
for you if you send them my way. I have broadband so the size isn't any problem on my
end. Remove "my" to reply.

I received only 1 file unzipped. Unfortunately it was not
the important ones. My internet server went down and I
couldn't send the others fast enough. Can you still unzip
them for me? If not, can I install my Publisher 98 twice
on the same computer and have 2 versions of the same
program working? Any other alternatives? I really need
these files usable.

I sent all the files back to you. It was 5 MB zipped, which you said was the limit.
Do you want me to break them down into smaller zips. What are the most important
ones?

That 5 mb file was great. I received all of those and can
access them. But, I sent other emails with files that
needed to be unzipped. I had to break all my needed files
into separate emails because my server was sending them
too slow and rejecting them. May I send them again. I
tried to send them to your email address but I believe my
name has been rejected for some reason.

Sure, send them again... Use gsauer at columbus.rr.com or msauer at mvps.org

It would help to break them up in smaller files...
