Are Office 2003 and Publisher 2007 Compatible?

[Alton Davis]

I'm giving up on Office 2007 and going back to the 2003 version due to
frustration with the ribbon. My question is: is Publisher 2007 fully
compatible Office 2003 or should I look for a copy of Publisher 2003?
Thanks

It baffles me that each new OS has a more obtuse interface. Vista is the worst. I will also be reinstalling a previous version of Word. This one makes me feel like a moron.

I used to know how to use Word. You would think that the new version would
build on the previous. This is one ridiculous business model that MS uses.
The main tenet seem to be alienating customers.

Have a look here as to why the ribbon was introduced - makes sense to me.

You can use Publisher 2007 as a standalone application.

Yes, with one exception. You will not be able to create an email with
Publisher 2007 and send it in the body of an Outlook 2003 email.

Why? The Help section of Publisher 2007 indicates that you can do thi
with Outlook 2003. We would not have bought this product otherwise

Can do WHAT with Outlook 2003?

Who are you talking to and about what?

Please note:
This is NOT a chat room and although you think you are posting to a forum
run by Techarena - you are actually posting to a global Usenet Newsgroup.
Techarena forums leach off the Microsoft News Servers in order to make them
seem far busier than they really are. Those of us (the vast majority) who
use the MS News server rather than Techarena forums have NO IDEA what you
are talking about.

You will get a far better experience if you use a newsreader and subscribe
to these groups directly, rather than through TechArena.
