Windows Vista and Publisher

I have a publication that I did with Publisher 2003 and can't open it up on
Vista. I have my old Office XP disks and was wondering if there is a way to
use the program off of the disc on Vista. How would I extract only the
Publisher program?

OfficeXP is 2002 version, you mention Publisher 2003.
Do you have any other version of Office, including trial installed on your
Vista PC?

You will definitely need Publisher to open the program.

I think you have to install everything to get Publisher. Start the
install and choose which options you want. Maybe you can set
everything else to run from the CD or to be installed on "first use".

My other computer has been gone too long. You are right, they do say 2002.
I wonder if the Publisher program is on there and if so if it is a 2002
instead of 2003. If I can just get it opened, I can save it to a Word
document. Are their any compatability programs that will open it?

Well if you have your Office discs why not install Office?

Office XP will work except for Outlook passwords.
Just do a custom install of XP Office to only install Publisher!
You get that option during installation of it!
