MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / September 2003Is Publisher backwards compatible?
I would like to find out why Publisher 2000 can't work with Publisher 97. Each time we send a publisher file to the Printers, they have to re-format the document. I would like to know if Publisher is backwards compatible? How can you design a product to work with the next one that hasn't been developed yet? It'll be easier for you to save your files as a Pub97 file. (You might also want to consider a printer who uses up to date software as well.)

I have already saved the file as a Publisher 97 file. It still has to be re-formatted in Publisher 97. Oh, the Printers are too stubborn to upgrade their software. So we have to sort out their problem. After managing to set up OE-QuoteFix on his new PC, Ed reads a message > Oh, the Printers are too stubborn to upgrade their > software. So we have to sort out their problem. Or convert to PDF, or find another printer, or refer your printer to the fact that if they are in the US or Canada they are eligible for a free copy of Publisher 2003 when it comes out. SignatureEd Bennett - MVP Microsoft Publisher http://www.mvps.org/the_nerd/ Before reading this message, view the disclaimer: http://mvps.org/the_nerd/disclaim.htm It's impossible to save a Publisher 98, 2000, 2002 or 2003 file as a Publisher 97 file. Backwards compatibility started with Publisher 2000. Brian Kvalheim Microsoft Publisher MVP http://www.kvalheim.org >-----Original Message----- >Easier said than done...

Marc because Publisher was the most advanced version of Publisher till Publisher 2003 with added extras. Publisher 97 was not printer independent and consequently when you send the file to somebody else, unless they have the identical version of printer driver installed and set as the default and the exact same version of the fonts used, you will have to partially correct the formatting of the document. -- |
