Viewing Publisher files

[thewormman]

Hi hope one of you kind people can help?

Someone has sent me some files with the publisher extention of .pub on them.
I have Office 97 but cannot open them in anything, is there a Microsoft
viewer or some way I can download Microsoft Publisher so I can view them?

Many thanks in advance

====================================
There is no viewer for .pub files.

Possibly you could ask the sender to convert
the .pub files to .pdf?

Maybe the sender could use the following info:

Download and install the following free PDF Creator.

PrimoPDF
http://www.primopdf.com/

With your new program installed...open your project
in Publisher and go to...File / Print.

On your Print screen...open the drop window and
select PrimoPDF as your printer.

Click...OK...now you will see the PrimoPDF screen
and you can browse to a save folder.

When you click...OK..your .pdf file will be created
in your save folder.

The resulting .pdf file can be viewed on any computer
that has the free Adobe Reader installed.

And.....

If you order the free 30 day evaluation version
of Publisher it will still function as a viewer after
the trial expires.

Thanks very much John, that is very helpful. The guy who sent me the files
was not very helpful so I will do as you suggested and get the trial version.

Thanks again

I'm feeling somewhat benevolent tonight. Send the file to me and I'll send
you a .pdf file. Send it to jl dot paules at gmail dot com.

Hi JoAnn

Thing is there are quite a few files and 18MB in size, is that OK?

If so you will definately be on my Christmas card list!!!!!!!

Sure - my gmail can handle it.

Last time I checked, Gmail couldn't handle attachments larger than 10MB.

YouSendIt.com is the way forward!

I've never heard of them. If it involves another email address, I'll have to
say no. I have too many as it is.

Thewormman - send them in separate emails.

It's a website that will store files for a week up to 1GB in size, and send
a link to a target email address.

Doesn't clog up mailboxes, and doesn't break when your mail provider only
allows a certain size.

 

[thewormman]

Lots of nice people!!!!!!

JoAnn and Don

Have sent them split into 2 zipped files to get size smaller

Thought I would send them to you both in case one of you had problems

Hope that is OK

Restores your faith in human kindness!!!!!!

That's pretty cool. I am going to tuck that site away for safe keeping.
Thank you, Ed!

information to share. Maybe it's not exactly on-topic but learning something
new is always a good thing.)

JoAnn,

"thewormman" sent me the files but I am unable to open them with Pub 2000.
('holding out until Publisher 2006 gets to the market place).

Good luck,

don

Nasty or not, her answers are usually quite correct. Go join Jimbo in
the corner, please.

Blessed be, for sure...

You make a great pair of trolls.

Jim,

There's a difference between being correct and helpful. Take the guy in
a hot air balloon who is blown completely off course but manages to get
close to a high-rise building, close enough to ask a sunbather on the
roof where he is at.

"You're in a hot-air balloon approximately 180 feet above the earth."

That may be correct, but it doesn't help.

Mike

Hi

Just to let you know that the very nice Jo Ann has now converted the files
for me, so help is no longer needed.

But I would like to thank everyone who offered FRIENDLY advice, it was very
much appreciated!
