Word does not have the ability to open Publisher files. For that, you need

Have your sender use a PDF conversion program and re-send the file. There are
free conversion programs around if your sender doesn't have Acrobat. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...oogle+Sea rch -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "nikogee" wrote in message ...

how do I open a microsoft publisher document in word
You could download the trial version of Publisher. This would allow you to
open that file *plus* try Publisher out for yourelf. If you don't like it (and I can't imagine that), you can always let it expire. I think you'll be pleased with how much nore creative you can be with Publisher. :-) -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] Tech Editor for "Microsoft Publisher 2007 For Dummies" "nikogee" wrote in message ...

how do I open a microsoft publisher document in word
I was serious when I asked why there weren't any Publisher 2003 books
-- it looks from the chapters in the Office 2003 books as though it can do certain things well, but the blurbs claim it's a "desktop publishing" application: yet AFAICT it's not made for "publishing" anything more extensive than a brochure? It ought to be able to do the things that are supposedly done by Master Documents in Word, and we have an idea of how well _those_ work. (Again, FrameMaker provides the model; Adobe's supposed replacement for it, InDesign, isn't.) On Apr 5, 1:44*pm, "JoAnn Paules" wrote: You could download the trial version of Publisher.

Publisher is a modestly priced DTP application, InDesign is not ($600 vs. about
$100). Publisher 2003 introduced the catalog merge, it is a great tool for those who want to do directories and the like. There are books dedicated to Publisher, you just have to look for them. Microsoft has the best help however. http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/pu...649121033.aspx -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "grammatim" wrote in message ...

how do I open a microsoft publisher document in word
A major distinction between Word and Publisher is the focus. With Word, the
overall focus really is words and broad issues of document layout. Hence, there are lots of tools that facilitate working with words. Formatting is important, but not as important as content. With Publisher, the focus is page layout and getting each page formatted in a more or less precise and deliberate way. It strength is fixed format documents such as newsletters, greeting cards, and brochures. Desktop publishing in this sense doesn't mean publishing books or coordinating chapters. (The Master Document feature in Word while invitingly interesting, continues to be a great way to corrupt documents, even in Word 2007, unfortunately. It's a great idea whose implementation remains flawed.) The advantage of Publisher over Adobe's offerings is that some of us don't do well with Adobe's mindset and vocabulary. Hence, if you speak "Microsoftese" well but don't speak Abobese, then Publisher offers a more modestly priced and [for some of us] an easier-to-understand alternative. If there aren't tons of Publisher books, that might be because the market for Publisher isn't very large. But, it might also be because Publisher is very intuitive and doesn't really require big thick books in order to use & understand it. Just my own two cents... -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "grammatim" wrote in message ...
