Can I transfer a MS Publisher File to MS Word or Powerpoint?
 
Yes and no. Your document can be saved in MS Word format by using the "Save As" option on the file menu and changing the file type to .DOC format. The only problem is that you'll be saving only the text of your document. Most of the formatting, graphics and neat stuff will be lost.
Unfortunately the .PUB format isn't supported by Word, PowerPoint, or any other Microsoft programs to my knowledge.

Hi, if I don't have publisher, is there a way for me to convert a .pub file to Word format? Thanks, AMc Should I stay or should I go? Thanks & Goodbye, Joe.
 
What about converting Pub files (including graphics) to In Design and then to Word 2000?
 
If all you need is an image of your Publisher product, high light what you want to transfer, and click on copy. Then go to MS Word and click on Edit, Paste Special. Click on picture and ok. You will have a picture of your form. You will not be able to change anything but size in Word. But all formatting and spacing seems to be fine. Check special symbols, though. Some mathematical signs (greater than or equal to, for example) don't transfer.
