Dave,

This is a VERY common problem with Publisher.

You need to rename mspub.exe and msvcrt40.dll in the Windows System folder
and copy directly from the MSPUB cd the above 2 files to your Publisher and
Windows/system folder.

Then shut down and start up your computer.

That should fix it.

Peggy
