I have many publisher 2003 project files I would like to use, but have not found away to import them into office 2008. Any suggestions on how to convert them to a use able format?

Hi

The conversion has to be done using Publisher. In Publisher, export or
Save As Microsoft Word document.

I'm afraid you can't find it because it doesn't exist... Even pro desktop
publishing programs - Mac or PC - can't open or import from Pub files.

The most viable option I've found is to use Pub 2003 to Save As> Web Page.
Each page of the Pub file will be put in a folder along with the images &
each page file will be named as page0001.htm, page0002.htm, etc.

In Word use File> Open, change the Enable: file format to All Readable Files
which can then be saved as Word docs. This will retain the text formatting
but none of the layout & you'll have to combine the separate pages into a
singe file. The graphics will also have to be reinserted.
