Save as, files of type, scroll down to one of the Word choices. Be aware it
won't look the same and a lot of the formatting will be lost, the pictures and
graphics may not convert at all.

==================
..pdf might be worth a try:

If you are running Publisher 2007...
download the following add-in:

2007 Microsoft Office Add-in:
Microsoft Save as PDF or XPS
http://tinyurl.com/v46jc

For earlier versions of Publisher...
try the following freebie:

PrimoPDF
http://www.primopdf.com/
(if you only have a few files to convert...you can even
do it online)

With your new program installed...open your project
in Publisher and go to...File / Print.

On your Print screen...open the drop window and
select PrimoPDF as your printer.

Click...OK...now you will see the PrimoPDF screen
and you can browse to a save folder.

When you click...OK..your .pdf file will be created
in your save folder.

The resulting .pdf file can be viewed on any computer
that has the free Adobe Reader installed.
