publisher cannot open the file
I have spent weeks working on a newsletter containing 70 years of history for
our non-profit. I was putting the final touches on the newsletter this morning when a window popped up saying windows has insufficient memory, save your document, or try closing additional windows. This file on Pub 2003 was the only window open at the time. I saved the doc but when I try to open now, it says publsher cannot open the file. I can open all the other pub files but this one. Please, I spent countless hours researching historical materials to put this together and it is supposed to go to print tomorrow morning. Any assistance would be more than appreciated. Thanks! |

How to troubleshoot a damaged publication in Publisher
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/198256/en-us Look in your temp folder, you might get lucky. In Windows Explorer, type %temp% in the address bar, find a temp file that has "pub" as a prefix, change the .tmp extension to .pub. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "AGS history" AGS wrote in message ...

Is this a file you created or something that was sent to you?

publisher cannot open the file
Hi JoAnn,
This same thing happened to me on a 40 pg workbook. Luckily I had already sent it to print, so the printer has a copy of it. My problem, is that I cannot open it from my publisher file, my saved docs file or my outbox. I tried your suggestion below and was presented with a bunch of unreadable symbols. Any suggestions? Your last post was in 2006 - anything new that might work? Thanks. "JoAnn Paules [MVP]" wrote: It may not be salvageable. Open Word, File - Open - change the file type to "Recover text from any file" and select that Publisher document. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can at least extract your text. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "AGS history" AGS wrote in message ...
