You receive the "Publisher cannot open files from a different version" error message when you open an unpacked publication in Publisher 98 (218671)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Publisher 2000
- Microsoft Publisher 98
This article was previously published under Q218671 SYMPTOMS When you unpack a publication and try to open it with
Microsoft Publisher 98, you will receive the following error message:
Publisher cannot open files from a different version.
This error message will occur, even if you saved the publication as a
Publisher 98 file before you packed it. CAUSE Pack and Go for Microsoft Publisher 2000 is not compatible
with Microsoft Publisher 98. The packed publication contains a Publisher 2000
file, regardless of whether or not it was previously saved in another version.
RESOLUTION Do not use Pack and Go if you intend to open a publication
in Microsoft Publisher 98. Use the Save As method to save the Publication as a Publisher 98 file instead.
