I don't have standalone software only Office 2000 and Office 2003. Due to
the problems I am having in trying to work with my web site in Pub 2003 I
want to go back to Pub 2000. Is it possible to just re-install Publisher
2000 from with Office 2000 - or do I have to just go back completely to
Office 2000?

Thank you.
