the other programs in Office?

[Ed Bennett]

Can Microsoft create a free viewer program for .pub files like they
have for the other programs in Office?

Could they? Yes

Is it profitable for them to do so? Probably not.

Will they do so? Probably not.

Can people sending Publisher files to those without Publisher download and
install the free PrimoPDF application from www.primopdf.com and create PDF
files which can be read with the free Adobe Reader? Yes.

Will they always? Probably not.

Can you order the Publisher 2003 trial for a nominal shipping and handling
fee which functions as a viewer after the trial period expires? Yes.

Will you? Possibly not.

Do all the questions I've written here make sense? Probably not.

Does that answer your question? Hopefully.

Ed, This answers my question "An attached .mht file should be used to email a
multiple pages" posted 4-20-2005. Thank you.

If the .mht file would work, then Internet Explorer would be the viewer.
Thanks again!
