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?
The only thing I've been able to do is get MS Publisher 2000 running under CrossOver Linux (currently 6.2).
So the documents can be (painfully) converted by hand using Cut and Paste methods? OIf course, this whole situation demonstrates the problem with investing too much effort into creating data in closed formats in the first place. Your client/associate has nobody except herself to blame.
I'll be following the answers to your question with a great deal of interest. Actually, regardless of what others say, I do find Pubisher quite easy to use, something I can't say yet about Scribus. I wish there were more newsletter templates for it.
