How do I convert a Publisher 97 file to 2000, without 98? Publisher 97 can convert to 98 and 98 to 2000, but there is no obvious conversion form 97 - 2000.

I have no idea, but maybe this is worth a shot.

If you have Pub 97 on disk, reinstall that. If what you say is true, then convert the 97 file to 98. Install Pub 2000 and convert the file to 2000.

I would make sure you make a copy of the file before doing this however.

I have heard of Programs being backwards compatible, but I don't think I have heard of a program being Forwards compatible.

I think my wording may have confused the issue: I need to convert a 97 file to 2000.
2000 is unable to open a 97 file, only 98 files. I do not want to go through 98, as it is unsupported. Therefore I need a way of opening and converting the 97 file.
