Loading older publisher files?

[Carolina John]

I have some publisher files from Publisher version '03 that will not load in
Publisher '07.
I have tried to double click them or using the open file optioin, but they
just sit there not loading?
When I re-start Publisher, they show up on the right side as "recent
publications", but if I try to load them from there, the program again just
sits there untill I stoop and re-load Publisher.
I need to re-load these Training Certificates to publish new ones for an
upcoming class.
What am I missing?????

Did you install the service pack 2?
If you did you may have to install the Hotfix

I installed the hot fix - still no help. How can a Microsoft program, with
all its testing, have such a problem??? Also, following the instructions for
the fix, you need a degree in computer science. Should this not have been an
"easy" fix before the product went out???

Nobody has reported your exact problem before - obviously it didn't
appear on every machine otherwise it would have been picked up very quickly.

Nobody noticed it until after the product went out, otherwise it
wouldn't have been necessary in the first place.
