I have a Publisher 2003 file that I am trying to save as a Publisher 2000
version. I get a message box that states there is a picture that is too large
to be saved to previous versions of Publisher. However, there are no large
pictures on any of the pages. What can be causing this?

Are all the objects grouped? Are there any OLE objects? Any large objects in
the scratch area or the Master Page that you are forgeting about?

Thank you David for replying. Unfortunately, I have explored all of these
possibilities and the problem is still there. In fact, after deleting the
page that claimed to have a picture too large for saving to an earlier
version of Publisher, I tried saving again and this time received the same
message box. Except this time the message box claimed a picture was too large
on a page that did not exist (Page 17 of a 16 page document.) I have an AV
program running with no known virus', but who knows?

Norton AV? Norton AV is proven to corrupt Publisher files.
If you don't see the problem then it's likely file corruption at fault.
What you can try in that case is to save as the file to the .mht file
format.
Then open the .mht file and save it as save as in the pub file format.

Thank you again David. Yes, it is NAV, in fact earlier today I noticed when
opening the Publisher file it required a font substitution for a font I was
not using. I chose to print the file from there and I received a message that
some of NAV's dll's were missing or corrupt. This leads me to believe it's
Norton's AV. I'll give your suggestions a try. Thank you  David.

I have been recommending to my clients and to Publisher customers that use
Norton AV to remove that product asap and replace it with AVG for a couple
of years now. Which is about how long ago the Publisher MVP's in cooperation
with the Microsoft Publisher Product team determined that Norton AV was
hazardous to Publisher customers. I have a link to AVG located on my site
http://www.davidbartosik.com
In fact I've had many clients that later tell me that after the removal of
Norton products they notice "other issues" simply disappear.

I had the same problem but overcame it by  selecting "save as " and just
saving as publisher file, not as a specific version of publisher. It worked!
