Publisher 2007 Fill Effects

I used to have Publisher 2000 on my old computer. I've since upgraded to
Vista and Publisher 2007, and all-in-all the new version is superior.
However, I just went to do a fill effect for the background of a picture in
my document, and I discovered much to my disappointment that many of the fill
effect patterns from Publisher 2000 that were kind of cool seem to be gone.
I'm referring to the simple fade-in / fade-out type patterns where you can
select multiple colors to blend into one another following a pre-set
geometric shape. Publisher 2000 used to have many more shapes than I have now
- there used to be a variety of spirals, stars, arrows, and so forth to
choose from. Now there are only some basic variations on horizontal,
vertical, diagonal, and "from center". I want to know if there is any way to
install just those fill effect patterns from either my old Publisher 2000 CD
or from some other source so that I once again have access to them; or is it
possible to have both versions of Publisher installed and functional at the
same time on my computer? Thanks for any help you can give.

Have you tried the Publisher Newsgroups?

Not yet.

I feel pretty foolish asking this, but where do I go to check them out?

Hi there, When you click on this link
http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm...tOverview.mspx

You get a list of all *Office Discussion Groups*, so I located Publisher
Under Publisher, you have four links
General Questions
Programming
Commercial Printing
Web Design

For example, I chose *General Questions*
