Publisher cannot open the file
When attempting to create a custom border in Microsoft Publisher XP/2002/2003, limited users get the error message “Publisher cannot open the file” when saving the border.
This does not apply to administrative users.
The error message is in fact deceptive as it is a write and not a read permissions error. Limited users do not have write permissions to the :\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 1x\1033\PUBBRD directory.
Simply change these permissions to give local users modify permission on the directory and limited users will be able to create custom borders.
(Please note that x will vary with the version of office you have installed and that Office 12 may appear when the Office 2007 compatability pack is installed, you should change the directory permissions within the Office 11 folder)..
