How to Convert Publisher Files to Word Document Files

Converting Publisher to Word File in Publisher
1. Open Microsoft Publisher and the file you want to convert to Word.
2. Select 'File' and 'Save As.' Then change the 'Save as type' option in the 'Save As' dialog box from 'Publisher Files (.Pub)' to 'Word 97-2003 Document' or 'Word 2007 Document' (in Publisher 2007). Choose the file type 'Word 97-2002 & 6.0/95 - RTF (*.doc)' in Publisher 2003.
3. Click on 'Save.' You will receive a warning that the file type only supports text. Accept the text version of your publication by clicking on 'OK.'
