Microsoft Office Publisher files are perhaps one of the easiest and most common desktop publishing applications for anyone to use for creating print publications. With a few tips on how to use MS Publisher, you can start using the application like a professional editor.

Despite all its features and advantages for the common user, though, MS Publisher is notorious for its lack of compatibility with other applications. MS Publisher files aren’t as universal as you would assume.

It poses a major obstacle for collaboration, reviewing, and sharing Publisher content, which is an essential part of publishing print material. Limitations arise if a user doesn’t have a copy of MS Publisher installed. MS Publisher doesn’t have a dedicated viewer for opening or viewing its native file format. Moreover, MS Publisher files are pretty much the one Office format that causes problems for macOS users, because MS Publisher isn’t offered in Office for macOS.

In this post, we cover a few tips, hacks and suggestions that can help you open or view Microsoft Publisher files.

1. Convert PUB to PDF

When dealing with a limited file format, the first solution that comes to mind is to turn it into an unlimited, universal one that anyone can view – we’re talking about the PDF file format. Because PDF files lock down and preserve the formatting of its original content, it’s perfect for viewing Publisher content as is. There are two ways you can go about this:

  3. Name and save the new image to their computer.

From there, the author can send the image to you as desired.

3. Get MS Publisher Content Sent in an Email

If you get a Publisher file you can’t open, try going back and asking the sender to use the application’s emailing functionality to send the content in the message body as HTML. Note that this option, however, sends only the current page.

To have them send a MS Publisher page in the body of an email, they must have either Microsoft Office Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Mail installed. They can follow the below steps:

  1. Click the File tab.
  2. Go to Share.

Before the sender does this, he or she can preview how the page will look by clicking on Email Preview below the Email option. It will open in a new browser window just as it appears in MS Publisher.

  1. Click on Send to send the email.

4. Get MS Publisher Content Exported as HTML/Webpage

Microsoft
