Re: can not open files HELP PLEASE

Do you have Norton? If so, follow what the article advises in the URL I
provided.

Look at your firewall, is it blocking your opening the files?

Do you have a default printer selected? Publisher needs a printer selected in
the Printer folder in the control panel.
