This article was previously published under Q154655



SYMPTOMS
If you use Publisher Setup to remove Publisher 3.0 from a computer that also has Publisher 97 installed, some Publisher 97 features will stop working correctly. For example,
 * PageWizard Design Assistants will not appear in the Startup dialog box.
 * The Background Schemes dialog box will not list any schemes.
 * The Design Gallery will be empty.

In addition, you will receive error messages when you try to use the following features:
 * Mail Merge
 * The Hyphenation Dictionary



CAUSE
When you uninstall Publisher 3.0, the following key is deleted from your Windows registry:   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Publisher Because Publisher 97 also uses this key, some features stop working when it is removed.



RESOLUTION
To successfully register all the Publisher features, run Setup again and click the Reinstall button.



STATUS
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
