I have a friend that has a huge investment in Microsoft Publisher files. She desperately would like to somehow be able to convert/import the projects into OpenOffice or other LINUX program like Scribus perhaps.
Does anyone know of a program that can take a *.pub file and split it out into its' components or convert it into something OpenOffice or other package running under Linux can use?
Thanks in advance,
Richard
---------------- I don't know Publisher that well, except it's a program people shouldn't use because of how bad it is. As with most things MS, they don't leave you many outs when using their software. One of their ways of locking the user into their programs. But, I digress! ;-) If she is able to use Publisher to print out the files to a postscript file, she should be able to reuse the files in either OOo or Scribus. Scribus, now there's another train wreck! Anyway, converting them to postscript should make them easier to handle. She may still have to do a bit of tweaking, but they will at least be in a better format. good luck, Lee -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
