How do I open an older version Publisher file with Publisher 2000

I have a file that was created in an older version of publisher. When I
attempt to open it in Publisher 2000, I get an error message that says
"Publisher cannot open files from a different version"

If you have Norton, disable "script blocking" and maybe "Office Plug-ins" in the
Norton options menu.

Maybe after the changes in Norton, reboot the computer and try again.

Remove the NAV garbage-ware completely and replace with AVG. Problem
solved.

It could be that your file that you are trying to open is actually from
Publisher 2003 or 2002. Be sure to have them save the file as a Publisher
2000 file by going to File Save As and change the File Type to Publisher
2000.

Good thing I checked the poster's name. I thought David was replying!

Since someone else brought this topic up, and it means I'm not posting
another off-topic message:

A buddy of mine has just downloaded AVG 7.0. He cannot see where his
outgoing messages are certified as virus free, not do his statistics
indicate AVG has scanned incoming messages for viruses. Are you using
7.0 yet and if you are, can you tell - for sure - that your incoming and
outgoing messages are scanned? The ones you sent to me didn't have the
disclaimer at the bottom.

I upgraded to AVG 7.0.296 yesterday and had to disable it about as fast.
Previous versions worked fine, but this one is causing all kinds of trouble.

I never said it would be easy, Don - it's like removing AOHELL - a reformat
will be necessary.
