[dundee] Opening a .pub document in Linux

[Robert Ladyman]

Whoops - clicked 'send' before I'd finished.

1. You used to be able to download publisher and use it for 30 days as a trial 
(MS's preferred solution).
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA102339061033.aspx

2. You can ask the sender to save as an RTF file

3. There are some freeware viewers:

4. There is another converter at http://www.zamzar.com/ - same caveats apply

Only 2 will give you a Linux solution
