Visit the following link for more information:
http://www.mvps.org/publisher/conversions.htm
As well as this info:
There are no viewers for Publisher of any version.
Publisher 1.0, 2.0, 95, 97, 98, 2000 and 2002 are all developed
in a proprietary format which has some intense graphic use. It's
not very likely that we will see a viewer any time in the near
future.
However, there are workarounds. These work arounds will either require
you or the sender of the Publisher file to have access to Publisher.
Publisher 2002 will allow you to convert the publication to:
1. A graphic, such as jpeg, tif, gif, etc. In Publisher 2002, go to
File>Save As> and in the files of type choose which graphic type you
would like to save the file as. Once saved, you can then email this
file as an attachment. Once the recipient receives the file, they
will only need a drawing/paint program (like MS Paint for example) to
view the file.
2. As an embedded html email. In Publisher 2002, go to File>Send To
mail recipient. You will be prompted "this page only?", and choose
yes. This will require the use of an Outlook product on your computer
as well as the ability for the recipient to read html/rich text mail.
The subject line is filled in with the name of the publication.
Publisher 2002, 2000, and 98 will allow you to convert the publication to:
1. A gif file for recipients to open in a paint/drawing program. For
directions visit:
http://kvalcom.jvlnet.com/conversions.htm
2. An *.mht file. An *.mht file can be viewed by recipients using Microsoft
Internet Explorer 6x, 5x and 4x. This also reduces file size for
portability.
For directions visit:
http://kvalcom.jvlnet.com/conversions.htm
3. As an .html file which can be viewed in most any browser on the market,
as long as they are version 4.x or greater. For directions, visit:
http://kvalcom.jvlnet.com/conversions.htm
4. eFax Messenger. Easy to Send eFax Messenger Plus adds a new button to the
menu bar
or File menu of your favorite programs. One click and eFax Messenger Plus
automatically does the rest all within seconds:
It converts the open document into a rich, full color format optimized for
email;
It combines the document with eFax Messenger Plus's free eFax Messenger
Viewer
the only software needed to view and print an eFax Messenger Plus document
to create a "portable" document that can be opened by anyone;
It launches your email software ;and It attaches the "portable" document
to a new message, ready to be addressed and sent. There's no easier way
to send email attachments!
Easy to Receive Whoever receives your message just double-clicks on the
attachment and: The free eFax Messenger Viewer opens and The document is
displayed ready to be viewed and printed. Your attachment looks and prints
just like the original, but the receiver doesn't need to own, buy,
download, or install anything.
Again, this can be found at my site.
5. As a *.PDF file. You convert and send your Publisher file to recipients
in PDF format. All they needs is a *.pdf reader, such as Adobe Acrobat 5,
which is free from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html.
To convert your Publisher file, you will need a utility such as Adobe
Acrobat,
or even a free *.pdf converter. For a free converter, you can visit:
