| 128384 | 2003-03-15 21:11:00 | Is there a way to run two versions (2000 and 2002) of Publisher on the same PC? I need to be able to demonstrate exercises using both versions and so the 'Save as... [older version]' is not helpful. Can anyone tell me how to do this? |

| 128385 | 2003-03-15 23:29:00 | Yes you can, BUT dont accept the default install locations when loading in the program. List them in two seperate directories. You can Run both programs similtanously,when you save the Earlier version 2000, you'll need to give it a prefix in the file nane, like 2KSample.pub, and the 2002 version you'll need to start the file name with 22Sample.pub. (examples only) One hassle with MS Publisher programs, you can only open a particular .pub file with the original host prgram, there is no identifier that will advise you which version publisher was created in. MS Publisher are NOT backwardly compatible in any version. Cheers......John. |

| 128387 | 2003-03-16 05:02:00 | I would load the older one first, then the newer version. And dll's *should* be backward compatable, as you will have no control over where these are loaded. |
