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 than MS Pub. Take a look at it at www.scribus.com if I'm not mistaken. -- Russ

I agree with both David & Russ. As David points out, open your files up in Publisher and save out as postscript files. Then get Scribus and open the files there, to continue editing them in a better program!

Pat I like your idea for the pub file but I get an error when I try to save the file as postscript since there is no postscript printer on my system. I tryed creating one but it fails since it cannot find the printer. Is there a windows program like PDF995 (for conversion to PDF) that will convert to Postscript?
I think publisher may offer some of its own print functions but I haven't used it much. I recommend freePDF, It looks kind of complex to set up but the directions are quite complete and when finished you will have the option to print to pdf as well as your existing printers. http://myflo.com/files/frpdfloc.htm You'll know you have found the right site if they tell you to get and install Redmon, ghostscript and acrobat reader. Instructions for installing and configuring all of these progs are presented in a thourough and understandable way on the site Good luck -- dh Don't shop at ZipZoomFly.com!
