Thanks for your suggestion Mary, I haven't tried to load up the Publisher
software onto the new computer yet, I was concerned as to whether there might
be some conflict as the Publisher software that I have been using is several
years old now and was created before Windows 7 even existed.

I am somewhat surprised however, that Microsoft did not include the basic
Publisher software in with the current Office software, but instead just
appear to have ditched it in favour of Powerpoint. I'm sure that many people
have countless stored Publisher documents in their files that they will want
to open and use again for one reason or another, and this will therefore
cause problems for many of them.

It is not even very clear if the later Publisher upgrades are compatible
with Windows 7.

This forum discusses Office XP and Windows 7. Have you tried installing
Publisher into its own folder? I understand Windows 7 has a very good
compatibility mode.

I would like to move numerous documents created in Publisher 2002 on a
computer running XP, to a new computer running Windows 7. Can I install Pub.
2002 on the new computer in order to do this?

If it is necessary or desirable to upgrade to Pub. 10 (or later if such
exists), will that run on Windows 7 ?

Any advice would be welcome.
