  • Microsoft Publisher 2002
This article was previously published under Q289097

SYMPTOMS

After you install Microsoft Publisher 2002 and choose to keep the earlier version of Publisher, the program shortcut on the Programs menu opens Publisher 2002 instead of Microsoft Publisher 2000.

CAUSE

During Setup, Publisher 2002 replaces the shortcut on the Programs menu, even though you chose to keep the earlier version of Publisher.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, rename the shortcut for Microsoft Publisher 2000 before you install Publisher 2002. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then right-click Microsoft Publisher.
  2. Click Rename on the shortcut menu.
  3. Change the shortcut name to Microsoft Publisher 2000, and then click OK.
If you already installed Publisher 2002, you can create a new shortcut for Publisher 2000 and place it in the Programs folder. For information about how to create a shortcut, please see Publisher 2002 Help or the manual for your operating system.
