MS Office Forum / Publisher / Web Design / January 2006Publisher 2000
Where might I be able to purchase a copy of Publisher 2000? I've tried 2003 and not happy with the results. Save yourself the grief, and go ahead and get a real web page program like FrontPage or DreamWeaver. One possible justification for using Publisher is if you want to be able to use the same material for printed promotional purposes, but this would not be the norm I wouldn't think. The main problem is that support for Publisher 2000 will eventually evaporate, and there is no indication that M$ is going to fix the serious problems associated with more recent versions of Publisher (bloated code, incompatibility with browsers other than IE, etc.) While Publisher 2000 can be used to do rather large websites, it is not without problems, and it is a dead end street unless M$ wakes up and solves the problems with the next version (not likely). All that being said, there is a group of lawyers working on a class action lawsuit that supposedly addresses some of these issues. To answer your question, you could probably get a cheap legal copy on eBay, though I have not checked. >Where might I be able to purchase a copy of Publisher 2000?

I am guilty of assuming ( making an "a.s of u and me", but especially you). Look at the name of this newsgroup. Also, what other logical reason would somebody be looking for Pub 2000? Of course it is the last of the versions that do not require registration, so I suppose that COULD be a reason, but it seems unlikely.

If you aren't doing a website and posted in the wrong group, what didn't you like about the results? If you are doing a website, I'm still curious what you didn't like.

Stick with 2003.. you will get along with the conventions in time.. SignatureMike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User > Where might I be able to purchase a copy of Publisher 2000?

It produces cleaner code that is much smaller in size, loads faster, produces better images and has better cross browser support...among other things.

Thanks for your opinion; in fact I've used 2000 before to create some web sites and am quite happy with the results versus 2003. Just wanting a copy of my own since the other sites were not created on my computer but others who have the software. > If you are wanting to produce a website, then Pub 2000 is better than 2003 > in my opinion.
