Open previous versions of publisher

No, the organization uses Trend Micro client server messaging security for

We had one poster that suggested a security update may have caused issues.

You might try removing the update to see if it makes a difference. This is the

Well, these files were created with an earlier version of Publisher.
Problably 2000 or 97 version. All the computers in the environment were
recently replaced and have never had anything but Office 2007 on them.
How would I go about removing this patch?

This is a copy of the post

According to the description there is no known issues with the security patch. I
am guessing folks that coded the security patch had no known problems.
