Microsoft Publisher conversion

[gilly]

Hi guys, I have made a family tree in descending order, using Publisher and I want to send it to a relative as an attachment in an e-mail, unfortunatelywhen he opens it, it is just not accessable, it shows lines of data instead, is there any way of converting this so he can open it in it's original form. He uses Microsoft XP but doesn't have publisher.

As far as i am aware, without publisher installed on the target PC, you cannot open publisher files.

You could look into converting to .pdf

You could try converting it to an html document, they should then be able to view it with a Webbrowser, here is the site that explains how,

How to Convert a Microsoft Publisher File to a Web Page | eHow.com

once converted, send as and attachment to your Email .

Hi MrDarn and Perce, sorry I'm late answering, I have used Perce's post and it seems to work OK, thanks for your help.
