thanks for such a prompt answer

my problem is... i'm a teacher and i just made our school yearbook using publisher. i live in the u.s. virgin islands and the cheapest color printing i can find her is $1.50 per copy- ouch!-, so i decided to go to kinko's online, or another printing site where you can upload your files and then they print, bind, and ship to you
anyway, the site i wanted to use doesn't accept publisher files. i suppose i don't have to convert to word, there are other options, but i'm not familiar with any of them. i was just hoping there was a way

thanks for the trouble... am

i've been reading some of the previous posts, and it seems i might need to go in the direction of a pdf file instead of word, but how

thanks

A PDF is infinitely better than a Word file for commercial print (especially
a Word file that has come out of Publisher)

There are many commercial and freeware utilities for PDF out there,
including
Adobe Acrobat at www.adobe.com
PDF995 at www.pdf995.com
PDF-Xchange at www.docu-track.com
Win2PDF at http://www.daneprairie.com
GhostScript at http://www.cs.wisc.edu/~ghost/
(This is good in combination with GSView from

Sherry, .tiff files are the same as any bitmap image, they are not text. If your
scanner came with the OCR software, then this is the way to go. Microsoft's Document
Imaging does have OCR capabilities, look in the help, read the section "searching for
text".

Amy,

I believe Kinko's has a program you can download that will convert your
Pub file into a pdf that they can print from.
