A small child turns to Ed, and exclaims: "Look! Look! A post from Don

Haven't we covered this ground before, Don?

Publisher 97 cannot load files created in Publisher 98, or saved in
Publisher 98 format. It seems after Publisher 97 was released, Microsoft
lost the documentation explaining how exactly to save in a
Publisher-97-readable format...

I don't think it can be done. I believe you can only get a Save As back to
Pub 98. Sorry.

Send the file to me and I will convert it back to 97, believe me where there is a
will there is a way... Some of the formatting could be lost.
Remove "my" to reply.
