Re: .pub files

We are back to the Norton problem. Have you disabled the Office Plug-in?

Mary,

Wel I have succes to a point. After following your advice and purging all
the printer files and re-installing the printer the document opens.... If I
open it through "my documents", if I start publisher then open it from there
it closes. What's up with that? It also is strange that I can open it, edit
it and print it but after I save and close it the "Publisher has encountered
a problem and needs to close" error pops up after the document is closed!
Thanks,

It
is always better to completely uninstall a driver before
installing/re-installing.

Mary,

Now it's getting really strange. Tried turning off pictures and special
characters, no change still shut down Publisher. Checked the error report
details and "Hpbafd32.dll" was not in it. Searched for that dll and it's
not
on my PC. Updated video drivers again, still shut down publisher. Started
in
safe mode and the .pubs opened! Saved as a new file and restarted normally.
The new files still shut down publisher. I tried opening one of the old
files
and it opened!! Pictures were there and special characters too. Saved the
file and tried opening again. Shut down :( Now I'm really confused. Any
other options? I can still work on them on the W2K machine but hey, I like
to
fix things if I can TIA

Did you try the capability mode?

Open Publisher, view, pictures, click hide pictures, now try to open a
file.

HP printer?

Mary,
I almost thought that it was fixed! I updated printer drivers, opened
the
.pub, I could see the pages and text, looked like it was fixed, the the
error
popped up " Publisher 2000 version 6.0 has encountered problems and
neeeds
to
close, we're sorry for the inconvenience". :( I should note that I
updated
my graphics drivers after updating to WXP. Any other thoughts? TIA

I have some files created in Publisher 2000 on a PC with windows
ME.
Since
upgrading to W XP they will not open. I can open them on a PC
with W
2K
fine.
Any advice would be appreciated. TIA
