Is there an error message? Some virus software will prevent opening older
Publisher files. Take a look at the following article.
Error message when you try to open a publication in Publisher: "Publisher cannot
open the file" or "Publisher has detected a problem"

I used Publisher 2002 on a Windows XP computer. I've upgraded to a Windows 7
machine with Publisher 2007. My 2002 Publisher files won't open on the new
computer. Anyone know why?
