Hi,
We have been using MSPublisher 98 and are considering
upgrading to 2002. Would there be any problems with
compatibility between work already created in 98 if we
were to do this?
Thank you.

If you upgraded to Publisher 2002 or 2003 (which is now available), you
should have no problems opening your existing publications, although some
formatting may change (especially WordArt).

It's also important to note that you will be required to have Windows
2000/XP if you indeed upgrade to Publisher 2003. Publisher 2002 requires
Windows 98 and newer.

Ah yes, but if you have 2000, you can update to SP3 for free.
If you have an older OS, you'll have to pay to upgrade.
