Publisher 97 will open perfectly in all versions up to the current Publisher
2003.
The WordArt will not function correctly, but you can get a utility to
download from the Publisher downloads to convert the existing Publisher 97
WordArt into a graphic.
No other issues.

You can simply open a 97 publication with any Publisher version 98 on up, then save.
Be aware you may lose some formatting, especially WordArt.
Are you wanting a batch process?

All versions of Publisher since Publisher 97 can open Publisher 97 files.
Try disabling Norton AntiVirus and trying again
