Problem is that I create publisher documents, usually 2-4 pages long and then want to send them to colleagues. They cannot open the document(s) so I have to make copies and send them physical copies of the document. No, they do not have Publisher and/or the 2007 version of Word so even when I make .dotx, I have to convert to .doc for them. I have been searching ways to convert then, my publisher(.pub) documents to a word document (.doc) so they can read/use them. any suggestions if this cn even be done?

Hi theesponja.
MS has the .pub file format locked up tight. Nobody makes a direct conversion application.
There are a couple things that come to mind that will work.
1. Use the "Save As" function within Publisher to save it as a web page (htm,html). It can be viewed or printed using any web browser. Would certainly be the easiest option for you personally.
2. Take a screen capture\captures of your pubs. Save them in a common image format such as .jpg, then paste the images into a word doc.
