Can I open 1995 .pub files with Microsoft Picture It Publishing 20
I found some old *.pub files dated 1995. Not sure exactly what they were made
with, but it was a microsoft publisher. I tried to open them with Microsoft Picture It Publishing 2001, but I can't. It doesn't even see the files. How can I open those old 1995 *.pub files. Thanks, Steve

Publishing 2001 is an image editing program and is not compatible with .pub files. The native formats in PI2001 are .mix and .php. You need Microsoft Publisher...similar name... different software. MS Publisher 2000 could probably open the older .pub files and allow you to save them in a format that the more current versions of Publisher could open. You can download a trial of the current version at the following link. Even after the trial expires... the software will still function as a viewer.

Ok, thanks. I have 7 pub files. Would that be too many to upload ?
Also to Mary, I do have NIS 2007, but that solution didn't help.

Hi Folks,
I am a user of Publisher 2000 and am willing to help out and open and save the files if I can. Send them maybe a file at a time just in case they are too large as a group.
