Open the Pub file in notepad and see if there's version info at the top.

But, weird, why is it now a pub? Maybe it's a Microsoft Publisher file?
FrameMaker won't open that. Again, open it in notepad and look.

Cheers,

Sean

I have no idea what version the file is, but Frame 7.2 won't import it.
I get a message that an error occurred during file translation.

This file is for a group that I belong to and that I will likely be
doing some documentation and/or DTP for in the future. I sent a draft of
a flyer in Word so the group could see it during a meeting that I
couldn't attend. They wanted some changes made right away so they could
mail it, and it somehow wound up in Ventura. If there's no easy way to
get from Ventura into something else, I'll just have to ask for Word or
text-only files in the future. I was hoping there would be a simple and
FREE solution.

Thanks, Sean!
Donna

What version of Ventura are your files?

FrameMaker has import filters for Ventura (at least, version 6 did) that
handles Ventura 4.2 files.

Otherwise, I think you're out of luck. You might need to scrounge up a
copy of Ventura 8, try ebay, it shouldn't be too costly, or, outsource
the job. Some versions of Ventura use files in addition to the PUB that
are critical. I think I have Ventura 8 lying around somewhere ....

Cheers,

Sean
