I am upgrading to a Windows 7 64-bit Professional from a Windows 7 Home Premium (32-bit) environment. I have large files created with Publisher 2007, and am aware that Publisher 2007 will not function in the new environment. I have successfully installed and am using Office 2007 in the 64-bit machine. If I purchase Publisher 2013, will it co-exist with Office 2007, and will files created with 2007 be accepted by Publisher 2013?
In my experience, 32bit Office2007 works just fine on 64bit Windows7. But, I don't use Publisher myself, so I've not encountered the limitation you mention. (could you explain further the issue you experience, or provide a reference?)
Office2013 products, when purchased through Retail, are usually provided in Click2Run installer format, and this offers co-existence with other Office versions.
I did find these articles, which may be helpful:
