What can I use to view a Publisher file?

[Alan F Cross]

I have MS Office, but not Publisher. I need to view one file that has
been sent to me. Is there a utility, or facility within Office, to do
this?

Thanks for any help.

The short answer is nope.

You can ask the sender to make it available to you in another format,
i.e., pdf or word
or
Send the file for someone to convert it for you.

You are welcome to try to send it to me (it may be too large for
email) and I'll convert it for you if the file was made with Pub 2000
or earlier.

Or send it to me and it doesn't matter what version it was created in. Reply
address is fake, please send file (if under 1MB uploaded) to magrat (dot)
garlick (at) hotmail (dot) com. If larger, drop me an email to that address
and I'll give you my 'real' one.
