I have seven PM5 files which I need to open but don't have Pagemaker. I have Photoshop 7, and Publisher XP and wonder if I can use one of these to see the files. If I can print one out I can re do the posters I need but I need the information from the PM5 files to do this. I'm quite a newbie so don't laugh if the answer is obvious. Thanks for any help received in advance

Sorry, but the only way to open PM files is with PM.

ID will only open PM 6.5 and 7.0 files. I'd recommend a trip to the
local Kinkos where you can rent a computer for an hour or so and open
the files.

Hi Lyn

Except that I am awake at a decent hour and not in the wee hours of the
morning as you are :-)

Sorry - but I don't think anything else will open Pagemaker files apart from Pagemaker. Certainly not Photoshop or Publisher.

Gues you are going to have to find someone who has Pagemaker. Know any printshops?

I don't know if Adobe still has a trial download for PM, but I think
there is one for InDesign, which will open PM files.

Hi, Gordon,

You can download a trial version of PM7 from <http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=34&platform=Windows>

PM7 will open PM5 files, and from there you can extract the text or create a PDF.

I was in Edinburgh last week, sampling the national drink (a 16 yo Lagavulin)
and diet (haggis with neeps and tatties).

Do they have them in Scotland?

We have just started seeing a few of them around town here in Melbourne, (Australia) although as yet, I haven't ventured into one.

Hi, Lyn,

It looks like the Kinkos are only in London. <http://www.kinkos.co.uk/companyinfo/locations.html>
