I have a friend that has a huge investment in Microsoft Publisher

Does anyone know of a program that can take a *.pub file and split it
out into its' components or convert it into something OpenOffice or
other package running under Linux can use?
The only thing I've been able to do is get MS Publisher 2000 running under
CrossOver Linux (currently 6.2).
So the documents can be (painfully) converted by hand using
Cut and Paste methods?
OIf course, this whole situation demonstrates the problem
with investing too much effort into creating data in
closed formats in the first place. Your client/associate
has nobody except herself to blame.
I'll be following the answers to your question with a great deal of interest.
Actually, regardless of what others say, I do find Pubisher quite easy to
use, something I can't say yet about Scribus. I wish there were more
newsletter templates for it.
