If anyone has a farily current verion of MS Publisher I'd like to ask a favor. I can email you a little file some contractor sent me - it's a bid proposal - just one page but it's in MS Publisher which I don't have a current version of and it is one of those file formats that can only be read by MS Publisher. I'll never have a need for MSPub and just need the info in this file if someone can even just do a 'Print Screen' of it than paste that Print screen into a Photo shop type program, save as a Jpeg and send back to me or by whatever means you might be able to convert or copy and paste it. I can read almost any kind of files except MS Publisher. TIA!

My Publisher is really old, and unlike other Office programs there is apparently no "Publisher viewer," but there is a free trial version of Publisher 2003 available.

Thanks - I thought I remembered that but just hate installing any more MS progs on my computer. I guess I can try that as a last resort.

Having visited that link I don't see any trial versions of Publisher available. They actually say there are no download versions available. I think there is a trial of MS Office but Office doesn't have Publisher - or at least older versions didn't.

Guess they've removed 2003. But when I click the link on the left for "Try the new Microsoft Office System," I see MS Office Publisher 2007 listed as the 7th one down.

Yes I finally saw that - I just sent the contractor a note to resend the info in another format - too much to install that for just looking at one page. Thanks again

I just looked and discovered that I have MS Publisher 2000. I would be willing to try if you send me the proposal. E-mail in profile. :)

I am 99% sure that I have Publisher 2003 on a computer at work. Email it to me if you still need it opened. I can print it to a PDF for you easily, if that would help.

Regards,
Danny

Thanks everyone! I ended up taking another more careful look at the binary in this 136 kbyte file and found the numbers I needed intermixed in the binary junk. I was able to extract all the info I needed.
