= SYMPTOMS =

Word gives the following error message:

There is another Publisher open to the Edition “ ”. If there is more than one Publisher to an Edition, the Edition’s contents aren’t predictable.

= CAUSES =

This error message occurs under two circumstances:

  Two publishers publish to the same edition file. Word gives this error message as a warning. The message does not indicate damage to the Word document. Upon updating, the edition file will contain information from the last-changed publisher. To determine the contents of an edition file, double-click the edition’s icon in the Finder.   A header or footer containing publisher information was closed. Microsoft is aware of the problem with the error message appearing while closing a header or footer, and will post more information here as it becomes available. Despite the error message, the publisher should behave normally, with no special problems. 

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for the Macintosh versions 5.0, and 5.1. This problem was corrected in Word for the Macintosh version 6.0.
