Adobe PageMaker converting into Publisher and/PowerPoint

[Melanie]

Is there anything or anyway to convert PageMaker files or images put together in PageMaker to be able to use in Publisher and/or PowerPoint? I know you can convert Publisher to PageMaker but I need it to go the other way.

No. there is no conversion. (and the plugin that Adobe provided wuld only
work for older MSPub versions, and then not all that well)

What you CAN do is get the text out of PageMaker (inserting the cursor in a
text flow and using Export (or whatever it is) from the file menu). Graphics
in Pagemaker should be external linked (as they should be in Pub). you can
import them directly.

I do not recommend using copy and paste. It may work (but when it does not
it is an unmitigated disaster).

If you don't have PageMaker in order to get at the stuff, I think you're
pretty much stuck because there is no way to open a PM6/P65/PMD file in
Publisher. If you have InDesign, that can open PM files. As can Quark IF you
have the $200 XT needed to do so.
