I've never had any problems with opening Pub 2000 files with Publisher 2003.

The problem is not opening the files but what it does to the content. Some
of the pictures on the page are distorted when the file is opened. They are
fine in Publisher 98 and forward but not in 2003.
Any ideas? I can send you a file and you can see the problem...
Thanks.

I should have said no problems with the way anything created with Pub 2000
and opened in Pub 2003.
Please feel free to send me the file. Send it to jl dot paules at gmail dot
com.
