opening pub files

[roz]

I am printing a newsletter for local school.
The school sends me the calendar produced on Publisher 97.
I can't open it on my computer.
I have Microsoft Works and Office 98, but not publisher 97.
Can I download a "converter" without having to purchase
Publisher myself?

There is no way you can open a Publisher file without Publisher the full
program.

Suggest you get them to send it to you in PDF.

If you have Office 98, then a) you're using a Mac and b) that's the reason
you don't have Publisher - it was never released for Mac.

There are no viewers - have the person send you a PDF. You can download
Acrobat Reader for the Mac.
