Default How do I make Publisher 2007 the default instead of Publisher 2000

I have both Publisher 2000 and Publisher 2007 installed on my computer.
Whenever I try to open a document created in Publisher 2007 from My
Documents, it tries to open in Publisher 2000, and I get message saying
"publisher cannot open files from a different version." How do I make
Publisher 2007 the default version so it will try to open in 2007 first? (I
cannot delete Publisher 2000 as I have many older documents that will not
open at all in Publisher 2007).

Just change the file association:

Browse to any Publisher file with Windows Explorer, right click on the file,
choose Open With, browse to the executable for Publisher 2007 and check the
little box that says Always
Open with (or something to that effect).
