You receive the "Publisher cannot open files from a different version" error message when you open an unpacked publication in Publisher 98
This article was previously published under Q218671
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.
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.
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.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Publisher 2000 Standard Edition
- Microsoft Publisher 98 Standard Edition

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
