Create a PDF from Publisher and then place in InDesign.

Unless you have PageMaker 6.5 or 7, there is no route to get editable Publisher content into InDesign.

Jim,

Thank you for your effort. I've converted my publisher file to PDF format. Is there any way I can edit this file in InDesign. Thanks in advance.

Not really. You might be able to do some text touchup in Acrobat.

You can use acrobat to export eps files and then open them in Illustrator to do some further work. To do that you have to extract individual pages in Acrobat and save them as eps because ILL can only handle 1 page at a time.

Publisher is a real PITA format since so few people use it.
