Publisher 2003 on Vista Home Edition

[Marly]

I bought a new computer with Vista Home Edition already installed. I have
Publisher 2003, and when I installed it to the new computer it seems to work
fine; but, it only wants to open the files I saved as a word 2007 doc, not as
a pub file even though the publisher file was saved as a publisher document.
I thought, since 2003 is not the most current version, that the computer is
having problems saving the docs. So I downloaded the 2007 publisher tria,l
the same thing happened. I checked the properties of publisher and they seem
to be ok.
WHAT'S WRONG ? PLEASE HELP!

Are you opening the file within Publisher or are you double-clicking the file?
If it is the latter you may have lost your correct file associations.
Right-click any Publisher file, properties, opens with...change.

I'm able to open the file in publisher. When I for example save the file to
my documents or any place else the file will not open. I 've clicked on
properties and the pub files should be opening with publisher; so i did not
have to change the open with option.
