Can anyone tell me how/if a publisher file can be converted to an EPS File. My graphic artist cannot open publisher files and I don't know how to get him the file so that he can see the art because he does not have Publisher software...any ideas? Thank you.

I use Publisher frequently - saving as a pdf is one great option,
you can also save a Publisher file as a jpg. :)

Saving a file as a PDF does not *necessarily* add any PostScript? information to the file. The EPS information has to be there to begin with, such as an Illustrator vector file or a Quark Xpress page layout file.

Publisher files are doomed to stay in their own playground.

If you make a PDF file from a Publisher file, it will not contain any EPS code.

That's true - there will be no EPS code.
Royce & I were just offering options to get the file to Denise's graphic designer for viewing purposes.

I see. I didn't realize that the need was for viewing only. Usually when people want something saved as EPS it's because they need to perform an output function (e.g. color separations) or perhaps have a page layout program (e.g. InDesign, Quark Xpress) interpret the item.
