Hi File has been sent... Good Luck! Thanks Matt SignatureMatt Owner MSE IT www.mse-it.co.uk > Use www.yousendit.com > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > >> > open > >> > this months edition.. I dont really fancy starting from stratch! That file was corrupted by something. I can't open it and when I try to recover the text in Word, I get MANY pages of garbage. I hate to say this because it's not something I'd want to hear but you're going to have to start over again. I'm sorry.

There are a couple of things you can try, disable "detailed display" in view before trying to open the file. Look in your temp folder to see if Publisher left a temp file. In Windows Explorer, type %temp% in the address bar, if you find a file with a pub prefix, change the .tmp extension to .pub and keep your fingers crossed.

I thought that was the case when i sent the file so i have been frantically starting again. Mary thanks for the tips but i tried all them before i posted on here like JoAnn said its corrupted beyond repair. It was a long shot but again thanks for the help and advice. Looks like a long night for me tonight deadline tommorow!

Another thought, try opening the file in safe mode. Have you updated your printer driver? Publisher 2000 saves printer information in each file, it maybe looking for the printer.

I dont really fancy starting from stratch! I have tried running in Safe Mode still no joy... have also tried it on my laptop and can still not open. The printer theory is good though i have just checked my restore pionts in XP and have noticed that a restore piont has been created at 13:19 for Printer Driver Microsoft Office Document. I dont recall installing this driver or installing any driver then. I did install IRIS OCR for my scanner an hour earlier and when i turned my PC back on it said it had just recovered from a serious error.. Unfortunatley i did'nt report this to MS SignatureMatt Owner MSE IT www.mse-it.co.uk > Another thought, try opening the file in safe mode. Have you updated your printer > driver?
