Are there any free programs that will open MSPublisher documents

[glen]

um.. those are all methods for people who HAVE publisher. They instruct you on how to create a document so people w/o publisher can view it (via pdf, html, etc). maybe if you actually read those articles?

Maybe you should have read it closer also. In the OP, he said he wanted to LOOK at it. In my first link, it specifically shows you how someone your sending it to can see it. So maybe he can go back to the owner of the document have them email it to him so he can see it. Or they can convert it to HTML like explained in my second link.

"""""HTML Files: Convert your Publisher document to an HTML File. You can then either post the files on the Web and send recipients the address to go view the files or send the HTML files to the recipient for them to view offline in their browser. If you send the files, you'll need to include all the graphics as well and make sure you set up the file so that all HTML and graphics reside in the same directory so the recipient can place them anywhere on their hard drive. Or you could take the HTML code that Publisher creates and send an HTML-format email. The exact procedure will depend on your email client and how it is received by the recipient will depend on what email client they use (and if they accept HTML-formated email)."""""

How easy is that??

If he can't get someone who has publisher to do that for him, then how did he get a publisher doc in the first place?

That only works if someone uses Publisher to save the document in a different format.
