I don't have Publisher but need to open a .pub email

[tconnery]

I received a newsletter ending in .pub. I do not have Publisher. What do I
need to open the file? Thanks for any assistance.

Ask the sender to convert the file to PDF using a utility such as PrimoPDF
from www.primopdf.com

A) Download Microsoft Publisher 2003 Trial (or Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003 Trial)

Trial versions contain all the functionality of the regular (full) version, but can only be used for a limited
time. When the trial period ends, the software will go into reduced functionality mode. Essentially, you will
be able to view Publisher Documents (.pub) even after the trial period ends.

Neither of these links provide options to download, only to order the CD.
There is no downloadable trial of Publisher.
