I have some files created in old Serif programs. Is there any way to import them.

Currently trying to open a file created in Serif PagePlus in Affinity Publisher.

Welcome to the forum @KatLen

Short answer: No, not as Serif PagePlus (PPP) files.

Longer answer: Try exporting the file to a PDF from PPP and then importing that PDF into Affinity Publisher.

This has worked well for me for a four-page newsletter.

I don't know what version I started with, the computer is gone and I think the install disk with it. I bought X5 ... won't open the files, so it must be a more recent version.

Maybe you could upload a file and someone could find out what version was used to make it?

From memory, X5 will open files saved from X6, X7, or X8, but not X9. Please post to the Legacy Product Forum on CommunityPlus if you wish to discuss this issue further.
