Open a Publisher document without having Publisher

[edd1121]

Is it possible? Can I convert the publisher doc to something else to then be
able to open it?

What about a BMF hammer? ;-)

Nope- learned about BMF hammers years before I ever touched a computer.
Wanted to apply the aforementioned hammer to computers often - have managed
to resist the urge...so far.

Can't even be done with a crowbar. You need Publisher, version of the
same or later version as the pub file.

I had customers who could destroy an anvil with a rubber mallet. They sure
didn't need a BMF model to use on their mainframes.

Thanks, at least now I won't go crazy trying to find a way. BTW I never
though of using a BMF hammer, does it work on any other puter problems?

Oh yeah - it will work on darned near any problem. The downside, and you
knew there was one, is that the problem may go away but there are usually
other issues that arise because of it.
