Thanks Nic, but that does not solve my problem.
I built a new computer for a friend, installed W2K on it and copied over his "My Documents" file from the old PC he had. Then that old PC was fully wiped and installed with W98 for it to be sold.
In there are some .pub files from MS Publisher V3.0. This is either a stand-alone V3 or the files are output from Publisher 97, which also marks its files with V3.0.
I found a 60-day demo of this Publisher 97, but it can't read these files, even though it shows the content in a small preview-window. I have Office 2000 Premium, but that does not include Publisher 2000 (or older), so I am stuck.
Any other suggestions, other than apply for a demo-CD from M$ themselves? (don't want to register my name with M$)
