"Publisher cannot open the file" error. AHH!
I have a catalog I've been updating for publication at the end of Feb. I've got many hours into the rehash. I last worked on it 1/24. I opened it tonight... got the error of "Publisher cannot open the file". I ran error recovery on reboot, I copied the file and tried to open the copy... all to no avail. I had autorecovery turned on, but there is nothing I can find for any sort of backup. I tried a couple recovery apps, but I don't care about the text, I need the layout/images/text as a whole.

Hi On a new installation of Pub 2003 on XP, when trying to open a saved file comes up with ' Publisher cannot find the file you specified.

I have spent weeks working on a newsletter containing 70 years of history for our non-profit. I was putting the final touches on the newsletter this morning when a window popped up saying windows has insufficient memory, save your document, or try closing additional windows. This file on Pub 2003 was the only window open at the time. I saved the doc but when I try to open now, it says publsher cannot open the file. I can open all the other pub files but this one.

"Publisher cannot open the file" error
When I try to open a Publisher 2003 file in Publisher 2007 I am getting a "Publisher cannot open the file" error message. I've seen all the comments about SP2 and the Hotfix but I've tried the Hotfix and uninstalling SP2 but neither helped. I can open some 2003 but not all and the weird thing is that I used to be able to open the files without any issue. Any suggestions would be welcome. I had the same issue (you may have seen my previous post) and ended up submitting a paid incident to Microsoft. In short, if you open certain publisher files from previous versions be...

Publisher cannot open the file error 1100009
A client is using 2007 publisher to open a file created in 2003, which works fine. 2007 throws "Publisher cannot open the file". Pressing CTRL+SHIFT+I shows error code 1100009.

Publisher cannot open the file #6
I pastor a small church and want to print out donations for 2007. I keep an ongoing document with a separate page for each donor. We have not upgraded Publisher or made any changes to it. Today I tried to open last year's (2006's) document to compare with this year. I got an error stating: Publisher cannot open the document." When I tried to open the 2007 document, I got the same error. Microsoft suggests contacting Symantec because it prevents Publisher from opening a document from a previous year. I don't own Norton's virus protection. I have not upgraded from an...

publisher cannot open the file #7
We saved a file in Publisher on the network. It's a template we've used for several months. When we tried to open the file again, Publisher detected a problem with the file and stated that if the file could be trusted select OK. Then it could not open the file. Tried the .TMP file, differnet machines, copying, and renaming - no luck. The file is there, but cannot open. Is there a recvovery tool available? Publisher doesn't play well with networks. You could try moving the file to a local drive. No guarantees but it's worth trying. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Pub...
