Trying to open a word file into Publisher

I'm struggling with our Church directory. I use the Column format and that works just fine. Our office uses MS Publisher 2003 but when I try to open the PCREPORT file it says "Publisher cannot open file". I've tried the option File/import word document and get the same results. Nor can I just click on Open and read the Word doc into Pub.
Can anyone give me an idea?

I wonder if this is related to the Office 2003 update, which blocked access to older MS version documents for security reasons. I know Publisher isn't an Office product, but maybe an update was issued there as well.

I just replied to another post about how I fixed the registry errors I was getting trying to read Word docs. That's fixed.
I still can't open the word doc in Publisher. I have to use Word, select all, and paste into Publ. That works. But, it shouldn't have to be done that way. I talked to another person about it and he said he has no such problem with SP3.
