Re: Can't open a .pub (Publisher??) document in Word

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Hello John-

Excellent reference... I can't begin to say how surprised I was when I first
found this to be the case. The misconception appears to lie in the fact that
many other programs will not (cannot) display the graphic content of a .rtf
& many programs that save in .rtf _don't_ preserve the graphics. In Access,
for example, you can output a Report as a Word .rtf, but only the text
content is included. The text retains its formatting, but any lines, images,
or graphic effects are disregarded. I must admit that I haven't had the
opportunity to play with the _latest_ versions of Publisher in this regard,
but I believe that 2000 & earlier worked much the same way. When I get back
into the office on Monday I intend to find out.

Regards |:>)
