Hello,
I am using Publisher 2007. Today when I made some updates to my pages I
began receiving the error "Publisher cannot complete the operation". I was
trying to add a new page to my site when I received it. My wizard to
add/change page names won't respond. Any ideas?

Has your trial version time expired?

I don't have a trial version. I purchased MS Office Ultimate 2007 which
included Publisher.

What kind of page are you trying to add?

Perhaps there is an answer here: Add a page to your Web site:

I've been trying to go to the bottom of the forms where the pages are
numbered and I go to 'insert a duplicate page'. This has always worked for
me before and now when I try I receive that error message.
At the same time this error message began popping up the wizard I used to
add/change page names also stopped responding.
I am still able to make basic changes to the pages (add, delete text) and
upload successfully in ftp, but nothing else is responding.

Try inserting your page from the top menu.

You did activate Pub 2007, yes? Under Help.

Can you create a new template and add pages? Is the problem with this
particular file?

Try doing a Save As to a new name, close Publisher, and then reopen the new
file.

You might try Office Diagnostics... under Help.

You might try Repair via Add and Remove....or uninstalling and reinstalling
if Repair doesn't work.

Have you installed any patches or updates recently? Perhaps uninstall
them...

Sorry, but I am just telling you what I would try. I don't know what is
wrong. Let us know...

Oh...and of course somewhere along the line try the Tools > Design Checker.
