Open pagemaker 6.5 files (.p65) with pagemaker 7

Hi guyz,
Can anybody tell me how to open Adobe pagemaker 6.5 files (.p65) with pagemaker 7?
I tried renaming the .p65 file to .pmd. The files did open but the contents did not seem proper. Looks like the file was corrupted.

I did see if there is any "Import" option--but could not find. Also, the "Place" function did not help even though I selected the "Older pagemaker files".

Can someone please tell me how to open those files? or can you please provide me a download link to the pagemaker 6.5 download?

Thank you,
-VR.

why are you changing the extention, do not change any thing. just change the file type while opening. PM7 supports PM6.5 files, you can also create PM6.5 files thru PM7. I was using PM7 near about 2 years ago and i didn't find any single error.

Pl let us know.

Thanks Warrior,
I did try a lot but there seemed no way to open those files with PM 7.
Anyways, I got a copy of PM 6.5 and all is fine now.

btw, the guy who installed the copy for me also told me that PM 7 can open p65 file. he further told me that I could not open them because I was using the trial version.
