HEllo! My employer has installed the 2007 trial version of Publisher to give
it a try. I am building my personal website at home in Publisher 2003 and
have been doing a decent job so far. However, when I open the 2003 file from
my flash drive in this 2007 trial version, I am unable to actua DO anything
with it. I can't click on/activate text boxes, etc. It is like a static
document. What am, I doing wrong? The trial version was activated at
initial startup. I'm not an expert but I'm pretty frustrated with this,
since I thought I could get a lot done to my site during slow times at my
job. Please help!

Do not work on the file directly off the flash drive, copy it to your hd.

You guys are really smart (or I'm pretty dense!) That worked great. I am
puzzled aboutsomething though...Pub 2007 insists on converting my text
(Georgia) because it apparently is not an option in 2007. I thought Georgia
was among the 7 or 8 best texts to use due to its broad viewability. Any
comment? And thanks for sharing your expertise with us. It is a valuable
service!
