"Publisher cannot complete the operation" error message
Greetings... I am a new user to this forum, but not afraid to "get my hands
dirty," if you understand my meaning. I'm not terrified of registry edits or the like!  I realize this may be a question of "legacy version" proportions, but I am currently using MS Publisher 2000 with all available updates of which I am aware (and I do keep up). I've updated to Office 2000 SP3. For some reason, when I start Publisher, and the "Publisher Catalog" Wizard comes up, if I select any type of publication to embark on, and I mean ANY type of publication...Brochure, Newsletter, etc. ... of ANY variety or design, Publisher begins to make like it's "changing your publication" (with the little blue progress bar and all), and invariably stops at some point before "100%" with the error message, "Publisher cannot complete the operation." It gives me no more information than that. I JUST used a template last night to create a newsletter, and it worked flawlessly. I didn't change any program parameters or anything. I just opened the template, changed the text and some pictures, and chose "Save As." That's it. I didn't fiddle with anything. It WILL open PREVIOUSLY-CREATED documents correctly, though. It seems to have just gone on strike from last night forth. Has anyone any experience with this and, if so, does anyone know a fix for this? I'd be even more interested in probable causes! That might help me if this should happen again in the future. Thanks! Jayson

"Publisher cannot complete the operation" error message
I greatly appreciate your reply, and I will get to work immediately on having
the PubWiz folder re-installed from the program. I don't have my CD with me at the moment, so if it asks for it, I'll have to wait until I get home later on, but your approach sounds somewhat promising. I'll let you know what happens. Thanks again!

"Publisher cannot complete the operation" error message
Okay, I renamed the PubWiz folder "PubWizOLD" and then I did an installation
repair of MS Office 2000 pro Disc 2. I saw that it replaced the PubWiz folder, and I got all excited, until I started Publisher up again, and found that it didn't change anything. It's still doing the same thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't get it!!!!! I JUST used it the other night to do a newsletter. It went down without a hitch!!!!

"Publisher cannot complete the operation" error message
Currently running XP SP2.
Microsoft Office 2000 is the only version running on the computer, and it's upgraded to the latest and greatest service packs available for it.

"Publisher cannot complete the operation" error message
Has anyone figured this one out yet? I work at a school with two labs
of 30 computers each and they are all doing this same thing. They are XP SP2, Office 2000 with all updates. My guess is that one of the updates caused this problem since they all seem to be doing it.

"Publisher cannot complete the operation" error message
Good Morning,
Same thing here. Windows 2000 with all current updates; Office 2000 with all current updates. Most wizards do not work and I get the "Publisher cannot complete.." error. I also cannot access the personal information. However, everything works as advertised when I log into Windows as administrator. Running a repair did not help. Just one of those little annoyances that bothers the heck out of me; any ideas? Thanks, I appreciate it. "Mike Clifford" wrote: Has anyone figured this one out yet?

For some reason, when I start Publisher, and the "Publisher Catalog" Wizard comes up, if I select any type of publication to embark on, and I mean ANY type of publication...Brochure, Newsletter, etc. ... of ANY variety or design, Publisher begins to make like it's "changing your publication" (with the little blue progress bar and all), and invariably stops at some point before "100%" with the error message, "Publisher cannot complete the operation." It gives me no more information than that. I JUST used a template last night to create a newsletter, and it worked flawlessly. I didn't change any program parameters or anything. I just opened the template, changed the text and some pictures, and chose "Save As." That's it. I didn't fiddle with anything. It WILL open PREVIOUSLY-CREATED documents correctly, though. It seems to have just gone on strike from last night forth. Has anyone any experience with this and, if so, does anyone know a fix for this? I'd be even more interested in probable causes! That might help me if this should happen again in the future. Thanks! Jayson
