Using MS Publisher in OO

Post by paulfla »

Welcome beginner. What is your question or comment?
Please try to briefly and clearly tell us: What you want, What you tried, and What happened.
:?: I am trying to open MS Publisher in Open Office. I've looked throughout the forum on this subject, reviewed the Guidebook PDF and tried searching in OO regarding PUB files but can't find anything (I'm surprised that this issue isn't discussec). I have MS Office 2003 and 2007 but installed the latest version of Open Office on another cpu and would like to use my Publisher files there. I have Windows XP w/SP3. Thanks for your comments.

Welcome to this forum paulfla!

Microsoft Publisher is a software that doesn't work with OOo applications.

Nothing opens Publisher except Publisher. Microsoft don't even have a Publisher viewer for it like they have Word, Excel, etc viewers.
