How to set up publisher 2003 to open attachments in Microsoft Out.

[Bobbie Joe]

Previously I had pub 2000, but it got to the point that more and more
attachments in my Publisher 2000 wouldn't open a different version. I
purchased Pub 2003 and I still cannot open any Publisher attachments in my
Microsoft Outlook. What do I need to do?

What seems to be the problem?

I can not open any publisher attachments sent to me thru my e-mail. Message

Are you using Norton Anti-virus?

Did you install Publisher 2003 and keep Publisher 2000 as well?

No. I don't have Norton. I have Command Antivirus.

Yes. I still have both versions. I want to transfer all my documents from
2000 to 2003 before I uninstall pub. 2000, but until everything is working I
don't want to loose my 2000 documents.

Disable your anti-virus software and try again. It isn't only Norton that blocks.

In Publisher 2003 go to Help > Detect and Repair. This will make Publisher
2003 the default app for opening pub files. See if that fixes the problem.
