importing old 2000 publisher docs onto computer with 7.0 version

[leighmo]

The new version of publisher will not update automatically my older version
documents. I have many business files on the older version. Please advise how
to open these older versions.

They should open with 2007. Might turn off Enhanced display in View, Pictures.
Publisher 2000 did not use compression, the files tend to be large and at times
takes a long time to open.

Large Publisher 2000 publication opens slowly in later versions of Publisher
