Publisher text

[Harry^]

Someone has sent me some formatted text in a .PUB file but I don't have Publisher and neither my Wordpad (Win98SE) nor Word97 can display the text. Is there some way that the text can be extracted from a .PUB file?

Open the file in word but when the dialog box comes up asking which file, change FILES OF TYPE to say "Recover text from any file".

If you can't find this then you will need to run office setup again and make sure this filter is selected in text filters.
