Default how convert pub files?

Hi,
I'm new to the publisher world so I'll apologise up front for asking what
may be a dumb question. A buddy of mine sends post cards to his Army guys
to let them know about up-coming meetings and events. He uses publisher to
do it. Mail merges post cards, etc. He used the computer at work to do
this, but to make life easier he got it and put it on his home computer,
etc. But!, it won't load the file at home. He gets an error message that
says it's the wrong version.

Is there a software solution that lets you convert between various versions?
I don't know which versions I'm talking about here, but the one he just got
is a newer one than the one at work, which is a few years old.

I spent some time reading in this ng prior to posting this and one guy said
to turn off Norton, he isn't running Norton so that's not the problem.

We need to know the versions.
