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. -- Suzanne S.

"Alasdair Crockett" wrote in message ... 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. " : "Suzanne S.
