MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / July 2008Can I install Publisher 97 on a new computer with Vista?
I'm about to bite the bullet and replace my 9 year old computer, but Vista scares me. ;-) I use Microsoft Publisher 97 once in a while to perform simple tasks, and I'd hate to lose it. Will I be able to install it onto a new computer, or will I have to update? Thanks, Marcia You can certainly try. Whether it works properly is another issue. If I had to guess, you will have some problems that cannot be resolved.

I am not sure if Vista or Office 2007 made the Clip Gallery unusable. It could be it will work fine on your computer.

I mostly use it now for the borders and an occasional garage sale sign, nothing major. I used to publish a newsletter with it but no longer.

I for one would like to mount Corel Ventura - but am currently having to stick with XP in order to use it. Have Microsoft any plans to enable these older mounts on Vista? and if not why not. Other system manufacturers try their very best to cope with such problems - why not Microsoft?

Microsoft has been regularly releasing compatibility updates for Vista to allow older versions to run (or if they are incompatible, to prevent them from running and destabilising the system - although I believe that has only been the case for applications that are superseded by more compatible versions - mainly AV and firewall software).
