.pub files, converting to HTML???

[codym43]

Ok, heres the deal. My mother started creating a site about two years ago, and she only got as far as the design which she did on publisher. Now, I am taking up the task of finishing this site in HTML/CSS/PHP, or whatever. But publisher saved it as a .pub file and when I tried to save it as a plain text it was a bunch of jargon.

I then tried to rename it to filename.htm, but it ended up as filename.htm.pub..

I cannot upload it to my host and I cannot get the HTML or whatever it used to make it. I am now looking for where Publisher pulls its materials from so I can use them on another version which I can make.

She wants this same look/design. Any suggestions or ideas?

Open the .pub version in publisher and the save it as HTML from the File menu. You'll need to do a great deal opf work cleaning up the result but you'll be half way home.

Ok well, I need the images and layout which isn't in the file I converted.... :-/??

No, but the file you converted will tell you where those other files are located.

No, no html, nothing, just text.
