can't open file

[wildorchid]

I created publisher 2000 files on a windows98 SE COMPUTER. I saved the files
to disk. Just got a new Vista computer. I installed the publisher 2000 on the
new computer. The disk shows the files but publisher says it cannot open
them. Any hints?
thanks

Try copying the saved files from the disk to the hard drive on your new
computer and opening them from there.

I tried both your ideas but they didn't work. Thanks for trying

Have you changed the compatibility option? Right-click the Publisher icon,
properties, compatibility tab.

Take a look at the Publisher files, if they were stored on a disk they may have
become read only. You can change the entire folder, right-click the folder,
clear read only. You will get a message.

Right-click a Publisher file, click run as administrator.
