publisher 2000 and 2003 should be made compatable jon 26.07.2006 16:19:02 i have tried to use publisher on my pc for the first time and dicoveered that it is not compatible with publisher 2003 is this another way of microsoft trying to rip off the general public. I have only just started using microsoft product and overall have found them to be of a really shoddy quality. i suppose though if you have the monoppoly on the market you can continually spew out any old rubish making it all non compatible with other programs thus forcing people to buy it through need rather than through desire. thanks very much as a student i cannot afford to constantly upgrade so ill have to look for my software elsewhere ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Re: publisher 2000 and 2003 should be made compatable "Rick B" <Anonymous> 26.07.2006 16:42:52 You have posted this to an ACCESS newsgroup, not a PUBLISHER newsgroup. You might try making your suggestion without all the fluff and complaints. In my experience, it is very rare that you would not be able to use older Microsoft files with newer versions of the software. You might try posting this question in a PUBLISHER newsgroup. I would bet that you are encountering a user error, not a software restriction. -- Rick B "jon" <jon[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:0AB9388E-EF38-4960-A97B-A9F4013AE192[ at ]microsoft.com...

RE: publisher 2000 and 2003 should be made compatable Klatuu 26.07.2006 18:07:02 Yep, that's the way you get to be the biggest is turn out stuff that doesn't work very well and everybody hates. It is okay if you are a moron student at some liberal mindnumbing institution, but isn't it embarrasing to advertise it world wide?
