Microsoft Publisher

Is there any way to view a .pub file if you do not have Microsoft Publisher? I was sent a file that I want to view, but cannot open it.

This article says that, “There are currently no plug-ins, viewers, or shortcuts for .pub files.”

Anyone know of a way?

Does this help ?

Saw that article. It doesn’t help, because it assumes that you already have publisher, and are trying to make your file viewable by people w/o publisher, not the other way around.

I think (can’t find the latest literature) that Adobe InDesign CS for Windows (though not for Mac) can import .pub files, and then export in a wide variety of formats.

Alternatively get back to the sender and ask for a PDF.

You can get a free trial version of Publisher that’s only good for a limited time. Cost is only shipping & handling. Go to http://www.microsoft.com/Office/publisher/prodinfo/trial.mspx

Sorry about that. I should have read closer. I thought you were looking for a way for the emailer to send it to you, so you could read it.
