Default Publisher cannot open files from a different version (again!)

browsing the discussions on that subject, I couldn't find a solution
for it.

I have received Publisher files by mail that have been stored in the
2000 format. I have Publisher 2000 SR-1 on Win XP Home, as well as
Office 2003 Small Business Edition. As I hardly use Publisher, there is
no need to upgrade to Version 2003.

Is there any possiblity to open the files or at least extract the
graphics and text portions?

I appreciate any help on this.

Rainer

Office 2003 Small Business Edition includes Publisher 2003. Why not simply
install it?

Sorry, I made a msitake. It's not Office Small Business but Standard,
that doesn't include Publisher.

If this is a rare occasion, you may send me the files and I'll do a Save As
for you. No guarantees about any lost formatting because of the downgrade
tho.

If you decide to accept my offer, send them to jl dot paules at gmail dot
com.
