The problem is that a publication previously created, when opened can
now no longer be edited.
I can get a "select all" option for trying to copy into new
publication, but "copy"/"save" etc are all greyed out.

Any clues valued as to how I unlock.?

On format tab for instamce every option greyed out except "Auto Fit".

Recall publication was originally created in earlier version,
2000 I recall, but have always been able to edit since our IT dept
upgraded earlier in year.
Have checked other pub files on hard drive and they all edit OK.
OS=Win XP2.

Thanks

Can you do a "save as?"

No.
But I've cracked it thanks Mary; when opened font message comes up
saying one wasnt embedded and I just clcked OK.

Realise now you have to click on that font and select "NO" to load and
all is hunky dorey!

Thanks
