Many of the Publisher MVPs run all versions. Brian Kvalheim, for example, is
or was a commercial printer and so has to be able to accept files from
multiple versions. I jumped from 97 to 2002 and thought that was a huge
improvement (didn't ever use 2000), but 2003 is even better.

I'm using the old version 2000 but looking at the posts most people seem
to
be using 2002 or 2003 but as my night class are using 2000 thats what I'm
using,so we dont get any confusion etc, I just hope they can help me when
i

Hi Folks, it's me again (Alasdair Crockett),
I just thought that I would let you all know that I sat the final
part
(for
now)of my exam in my Clait Plus Word Unit and Passed with flying
colours
:-)
Thanks to you guys and all the Tutorials. I want to thank you all
for
your
patience and understanding and for always pointing me in the right
direction.
The next unit I am undertaking is" Publisher"which is another
thing I
have
never used before, my choice for this is that our parish magazine
has
asked
for help in publishing the mag and I thought it would be a good
idea
if I
could contribute to it at some later stage when I grasp the
fundamentals.
I
just hope the MVP's at "Publisher" are as good as you Ladies and
Gentlemen
:-).
I will be back with you at some stage, when I do the more advanced
unit on
word at some point in the future and I'm sure there will be times
before
that
when I need your valuable help.
So a BIG THANK YOU to you all,
Kindest Regards to you all,
Alasdair Crockett.
