MS Office Forum / Publisher / General MS Publisher Questions / November 2005publisher 2.0
My windows 98 se pc just died and so I bought a new one....i installed publisher 2.0 on it and it will not open files that I created with that very program. I get a message stating that "cannot open other versions files". I can't use my old pc and the publisher files on the floppy are very important. I know the version of publisher that I have is very old. What can i do to see those files? Steve First copy the files to your hard drive. Disable your virus software, or if you have Norton, disable script blocking and in Norton options, misc. clear Office Plug-ins. Changing capability could make a difference. Right-click the Publisher program icon, properties, capability tab.

Thank you very much!!! I assume your new Operating System is Windows XP. Norton is a ant-virus program which may have been bundled with your new computer. If it is on your computer the icon is on your systray, the same place you see the time and date. Right-click the icon, click open, "script blocking" will be on the opening screen, click on it, click disable. Above is a link, Options (Next to "Live Update"), click it, on the left pane click Miscellaneous, clear Enable Office Plug-in. If you have any other anti-virus software, simply disable it until you open and re-save your files.

When I right click Norton antivirus in the sys ttary there is nothing about scripting at all......it is norton 2003 and the operating system is win xp. Also under miusc the box nextt to office plug in ids not checked! I do everything else you have suggested to no avail. The pc is not brand new.....but relatively new.

It just seems like the norton asnswer is not correct...would buying a new version publisher allow me to get to those files? > > When I right click Norton antivirus in the sys ttary > > there is nothing about scripting at all......it is norton [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > the Norton AntiVirus Office plug-in > http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=329820 You did move the files to your hard drive, right? Can you send me one of the files? I will see if I can open it with a later version. Hypothetically Publisher 95 on up should open the 2.0 files. gsauer at columbus dot rr dot com SignatureMary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com >I finally resorted to uninstalling my norton vp and still files would not > open.

Thank you very much! Steve this is all very simple and painless. UNINSTALL the garbage trash junk rubbish Norton and buy a decent AV program Copy all your Publisher files from the floppy discs to your hard drive prior to attempting opening them. You cannot open or save successfully Publisher files to a removable disc, and especially a floppy. That should read "compatibility"...
