[little rant coming up] Having paid a princely sum for an official copy of Publisher 97 (part of computer bundle of Office 97), I expected to be able to open Publisher 98 documents. I couldn't (and that's where the problem lies), wrong file version. Okay, maybe they changed the file format. That was my theory until the other day i checked the open file dialog, and saw a perfect "File Preview". In other words, publisher97 can easily read the file format, but Micro$oft added in some file info to stop you from doing so. > > - wait for OpenOffice.org or StarOffice to implement a filter (it's a > frequently requested wish); That's nice to know, but StarOffice 6 went commercial, i think.
