But better yet, most print shops do not like working with Publisher files.

Publisher To Pages Converter Mac Runs UNIX

A Mac runs UNIX under the hood (Postscript printing) there is generally better use of this technology in the printing industry.

That means iWork Page will NOT read MS Publisher files directly, but to transfer a file from one applications to another requires a filter that can convert a native application file format into a different file format, and Apple has not decided to write this MS Publisher.pub filter.

In nearly ALL cases it is the FILE FORMAT that will determine the ease or difficulty to moving and transferring those files.

MS Office files cross over with little to no problems, but with MS Publisher, thats a different thing altogether.

I used MS Publishers Save As to convert the.pub file to a MS Word.doc to open up that file in iWork Pages.

But the file did not come through well enough and there are some problems.

So grabbing the FREE office suite NeoOffice (and its twin OpenOffice.org ) I was able to accomplish my task.

I opened the translated Word.doc file in NeoOffice and cut and paste what was needed into the new Pages file.

In my wifes case, it was mostly graphics that there was a problem.

MS Publisher.pub file NeoOffice.doc file cut and paste content into an iWork Pages file.

Just run the text through a spell checker if the document is a long one.

Text was easy as a menu choice Edit Select All and copy and pasted the text into Pages as Edit Paste and Match Style.

It may have taken some effort, but from here we can make many changes in the iWork Pages page layout part.

Its not a one step solution, but it beats having to redo completely her file.

I too have Publisher files (menu, newsletter, business cards) that are useless to me with my new Mac.

I understand that Pages is a good substitute, but what I really need it to do is be able to take text and stretch it to the size box I put it in so that I can easily place text to the size and space I need it.

I know you mentioned iWork, but I am not familiar with it as I use Word for Mac.

A file is useless if youre having to start from scratch recreating a file, as I mentioned in 6 above.

Next, click on the graphic and go to Inspector Metrics and deselect Constrain proportions and you can resize your text graphic to the exact size you need.

Then pull out the graphic elements that youll need and paste into a Word file which youll be able to access on your Mac.

You can also, like I do, upload a newer version of your book (which takes the book offline to prevent customer ordering), and then order a new proof copy.
