Yet another file compatibility/conversion question (2007 -- 2000

I've searched this forum but can't find a solution to my specific problem.
Sorry if I missed something.
An associate of mine, who runs Publisher 2000, is getting the error message
"Publisher cannot open this file. This is not a Publisher file.". The file
was created at her Office in Publisher 2007 and saved using the "Save
As...Publisher 2000" function. And any files she creates cannot be opened on
the Office PC's that all have Publisher 2007 & MS Office 2007.
I know there is a Compatibility Pack for Office 2007, but I don't know if
her Office people have it installed on their machines or even if it would
help in this situation. The description of the Compat. Pack only mentions
Word, Excel & Powerpoint.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

I've had similar issues and what *sometimes* worked was to save it again.
Any chance your associate is running Norton AV?

The compatibility pack has no effect on Publisher.
