    Sorry, iWork will not open nor save to the .PUB file format used by Microsoft Publisher. To my knowledge, there aren't many programs save MS Publisher that will read and write that format.

  • I was a user of Microsoft Publisher on Windows XP. The best way I found to convert files to Pages when I moved to a Mac was to create a PDF file version and then copy and paste the contents into Pages. It doesn't keep all the formatting necessarily but at least it gets the data there. If you don't own a program on the windows side that can create PDF files, there is a freeware program called CutePDF Writer that works great to just print the file to a PDF. Then copy the PDF to Mac and copy and paste your data. Crude but it might help you out. It helped me get my files moved over.

  • You could always purchase Crossover - allows you to run windows programs on a mac (like wine for linux). It installs most programs that don't require add-ons such as direct X, there are a list of officially supported programs and Office is one of them so if you want to use publisher on a mac this is your best bet.

    Also, more professional publishing software is available such as Adobe InDesign and Quark
