I have a Microsoft Publisher Version 3.0 FILE which I would like to edit or at least view under Linux.
Does anybody know whether there is any application under Linux that can read and maybe even edit and write those kind of files?
AFAIK, there are none, not even in Windows. You might get MS Publisher working in wine or crossover office.
I would agree with Joe. The hardest thing for my wife and daughter in converting to linux has been no publisher compatable application or replacement.
I've had good luck running publisher with Win4Lin. Others say publisher works with crossover office but that hasn't been my experience. (I've tried publisher from office 2000 with WINE and crossover 2.01/2.10, both with no luck.)
I also found no publisher compatable apps or viewers in the winders world.
I would suggest that you could use punisher under windows to create a postscript file for viewing in linux. Another possibility would be to use publisher and free-pdf or another pdf printer driver in winders to create a pdf file that you can view anywhere and "might" be able to edit w/ kword.
Good luck I don't completely agree with you. It takes some work but I've redone my Bullitin (4 pages) using Scribus and as it grows I think it will be better
