Publisher 2003 file won't open properly in 2007

[John Cooper]

I emailed my friend a Pub 2003 file but he cannot open it properly in Pub
2007 on his Computer. (OS Vista SP.2). The file has 2 pages but only the
first page will show, and the images & text boxes are blank with diagonal
dotted crosses.
But he also has Pub 2003 on his computer & the file opens fine in that. How
can he open the 2003 file in 2007 to show everything & convert it to Pub
2007? There's probably an easy answer but we can't figure it out.

TIA John

Could have something to do with printers. Select a different default printer in
the Printer Folder, open Publisher 2007. If it opens properly, select the
preferred printer and resave.

You don't need the physical printer to install a printer driver. There are
generic printers listed in the printer library list such as Publisher Image
Setter.
