First get the files off the CD and make them Read/Write on the local
hard disk.

Sorry for replying to the wrong person but I have no idea where the
original post is.

I'm experiencing the same problem, and have tried all the suggestions in the
previous posts but have not had any success. My version of Publisher is 2000
SR-1, and my co-worker's is 2000 (version 6.0). I don't have Norton on my
computer either. Any other suggestions??

TanyaE, You are asking this question in a very old thread. What exactly have you
tried? Are you having this problem with all your files or only certain ones? Do
you have a default printer selected in the Printer folder? Is your video driver
current? Are the files on your hard drive?

I found a relative simple fix. using two computers. Open the document in Pub
2000 (In my case the originating program must have been Office Publisher
97/98) then resave with new name. It will save with the new date of origin.
Then copy the file to the new computer that has Pub 2007 installed.

Then it will open in Pub 2007. Then resave it again. It will save in the
2007 format if you say yes to the question do you want to save in new (2007)
format.

Why the developers Microsoft Publisher do not provide a fix or add on for
reading (importing)previous Publisher documents is beyone me But the above
worked for me.
