Using Picture It-Publisher 2001 web designs in Publisher 2002?

I have Publisher 2002 installed along with Picture It 2002 but would like to use a Web format design that I saw on a friends computer with Picture It-Publisher 2001. I did purchase a copy of the older program and wonder if both versions can be loaded in
XP Home and if not would there be a way to use the older format in Publisher 2002.

Thanks

Picture It and Publisher have nothing in common. They use different file
formats and different template formats. The version of Picture It that was
confusingly called Picture It 'Publishing' was actually Picture It bundled
with other programs.
Both programs in all version can be loaded side by side in Win XP.
Picture It is a graphics tool, a photo editor. Publisher is a desktop
publishing tool. Both support web site output but are not interchangeable.

Picture It is not very good in my humble opinion. I use Photoshop
Elements in conjunction with Publisher for our website (previously
used Picture It with disappointing results).
