Can't open MS Publisher ver 6.0 files with MS Publisher 2000 Prof SR-1.  
  
What's the difference between pub 2000 prof and pub 2000 works 6.0?  Is the  
  
works 6.0 version newer?  Is this why 2000 prof sr-1 won't open files from  
  
publisher works ver. 6.0?  
  
Please assist in any way possible.  THank you.  ANy advice would be helpful.  
  
Thank you very much.  
  
Have a great day!

Microsoft Publisher was not included in  
  
MS Works 6.0.  
  
Possibly you are referring to Microsoft  
  
Picture It! Publishing 2001 which creates  
  
..php files and they are not compatible with  
  
any version of MS Publisher.  
  
To re-edit the .php files you will have to  
  
open them in PIP2001 (or any version of  
  
MS Picture It! / MS Digital Image), then you  
  
could copy/paste the file from PIP2001 into  
  
Publisher 2000 but it would only be an image...  
  
not an editable / layered project.

AVProfTech <AVProfTech@discussions.microsoft.com> was very recently  
  
heard to utter:  
  
Publisher 2000 is also known as Publisher v6.0, as is noted in Help > About  
  
in Publisher 2000.  
  
If you right-click, Properties on ANY file with the extension .pub, it will  
  
report Publisher 2000 v6, as that is the version you have installed.  
  
Windows sees the .pub extension, knows that it is associated with Publisher  
  
2000 v6 on your computer, and tells you that that is the filetype.  It could  
  
have been created with ANY version of Publisher, or Corel Ventura.  Probably  
  
Publisher 2002 or 2003.  The sender can re-save the file as Publisher 2000,  
  
although formatting will be lost.
