I have a file that was created in publisher. I need to be able to save it as an atachment and email it. The person I am sending it to does not have publisher so I want to convert the file to a word document. I have tried saving the file in rich text format and word format but it tells me that the format I have selected only suports text and not graphics. It does not realy have any graphics. I was wondering if any body knows how to convert a publisher file to word or any othe common programthat someone can read when I email the file as an attachment.

Thanks

Save it as a .gif or .jpeg file for viewing in any standard browser. They won't be able to edit, unless they have some editing software. You can also save it as a webpage (pictures are saved separate, so be careful when you send it via email). The .gif file loses slight graphic appeal, but if you have little graphic this shouldn't be a problem.

Let me know.

If you have Acrobat Writer, Print to it and send the file. You can download other shareware/freeware PDF makers from sites such as www.tucows.com . They work great since they install and act like a printer. When you print to them they prompt you for a file name and location to save to. These attachments are very compact and can be read with Acrobat Reader which is a free program that most people already have installed. If they dont it is available (for free) at Adobe.com

I went out and bought adobe writer. I wish I knew about those freeware pdf makers you mention. I am sure Adobe writer will have other uses. Thanks for your help.
