Is this a trial version of Publisher? Are you certain you have not installed the
service pack? Look at Help, About Microsoft Publisher. The SP2 MSO will be
listed if it is installed.

It seems strange a multiple page publication wouldn't open. Do you have a
default printer? What happens if you select a different default printer in the
Printer Folder?

You need a default printer. Even if you don't have hooked up to a physical
printer, install the drivers for one and see if that fixes your problem.

Irene, Some versions of Publisher 2007 were missing the status bar that had the
sorter tabs, does this seem to be your issue?
There is a registry fix for this he

I've about run out of suggestions. Is your profile okay? Can you right-click the
Publisher icon and run as Administrator? Do the pages show up if you run as
Administrator?

Do you have Norton?

Have you tried *Office Diagnostics* in the help menu?
