I can't make Microsoft Publisher for Macs, as I can't code for Macs and I
don't have the copyrights to Publisher.
Try Microsoft Virtual PC for Mac - Microsoft Publisher will, according to
those who have tried it, run under VPC, although it is not officially
supported.

That's what they have Virtual PC for Mac version 7 for.

That may work. I just wish they would create Publisher for Macs as they did

So do I - the rest of Mac:Office is so much nicer than Office for Windows.
Maybe we could then port Publisher:Mac to Windows!
But unless you're going to provide the funding to do it, I doubt it will
happen (although it might be the best way to get the big commercial printers
to finally accept Microsoft Publisher as a valid prepress application)

Ed,
To get sidetracked just a bit -
IMO, it's not the app, but the users. Skilled users can create files
commercial printers will love, but quite frankly, there are too many
idiots using it who think they can put something that looks nice on a
page and have it turned into a tabletop book. To wit: I had a client
stop in the office Friday, wanted to buy an ad and design it himself. He
asked what format I wanted it in and said he could supply it as Pub 2000
file. No problem. He wanted it to be three columns wide (basically 1/6
of a page). I told him the measurements, roughly 5.75 inches wide and
4.3 inches tall, but gave him a spec sheet with the EXACT measurements.
When I get the ad, it's 7.5 inches wide by 4 inches tall, with a 96 dpi
image embedded in it.
If this was the first or even the tenth file that was bad, I wouldn't
mind that much. But it seems every file I get is royally screwed up, not
the size it's supposed to be, uses some kind of Wizards I have to make
sure are installed so I can edit it, etc.
If MS wants commercial printers to embrace Pub, MS has got to find a way
to keep ID 10 T user errors from occurring.
Just my 2¢ worth
