save as Publisher 98

I use Publisher 2000 (SR1).
I have tried saving in Publisher 98 format and emailing the file as an attachment to someone who uses Publisher 98.
Any ideas why they can’t open it?

Publisher does not to support the advanced formatting properties when saving to 98. You find fonts replaced, modified graphics returned to their original state. The CMYK color values are converted to RGB values and a slew of other stuff too numerous to mention. The transition from 98 to 2000 has a lot of problems.
Does person on the other end recieving your file have all the Publisher fixes downloaded? I noticed that you have SR-1. There are some articles in the knowledge base that may help your recipient open the file. Check out the link.

Another workaround would be to create a PDF file until you have resolved the issue.

Good Luck.
