MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / July 2005Publisher 2002 won't open publications from 2000
We just upgraded all our computers from Office 2000 to Office XP. But now we can't open any of our publications made with 2000 over the network. Publisher 2002 just sits there and stops responding when trying to open a file that was created with Publisher 2000. We can open publications from Publisher 2000 if we copy the file to the local system first, but for some reason we can't open them directly from our Novell server. Word documents work fine, the problem is only with Publisher. Any suggestions? > We just upgraded all our computers from Office 2000 to Office XP.

Any suggestions? You have answered your own question. Publisher is *not* network-friendly and does not like having its files saved directly to, or opened directly from, a remote drive. The way you're doing it is the only solution.  SignatureFacon - the artificial bacon bits you get in Pizza Hut for sprinkling on salads. > You have answered your own question.

Okay, thanks for your help! It used to work fine with Publisher 2000. Is it only 2002 that has the problem working off mapped network drives? Would working off a Windows server make a difference? >> We just upgraded all our computers from Office 2000 to Office XP.

The way you're doing it is the only solution. I just got Pub 2002, and it will open some Pub 2000 files, and crashes when trying to open others. Networking is not the problem here. Any solution? |
