Default How do I recover a saved file that will not open in Publisher 2003

While working on a saved copy of a newsletter in Publisher 2003 a message came
up asking what I wanted to do about: "Microsoft was trying to invade to give a
message". The message was from Norton Internet Security ,hich stated to I
should create a firewall (recommended) so that's what I pushed. Then
Publisher closed down and asked if I wanted to send an error report. After
Publisher closed, I can open up Publisher and any other document but not the
file I was working on. Each time I try to open the file it automatically
shuts down and asks if I want to send or not send an error report. I have
even tried in safe mode and it will not open.

Is there a way to recover this file as literally over 10 hours has been put
into this document??

Thank you!

Look in your temporary folder (your may get lucky).

Type %temp% in the address bar in Windows Explorer. Look for a file that has a
pub prefix, change the .tmp to .pub.
