| Technical Details | Microsoft Publisher files may contain various elements including images, graphics, formatted text and objects. The file extension has undergone a number of revisions, from version 3.0 for Windows 95 up to the current version 14 used by Microsoft Publisher 2010. A major disadvantage of the file type is its lack of portability. The file type cannot be opened by most other applications, including other Microsoft Office applications such as Microsoft Word. As such it is considered an inappropriate file type for sharing with others. However, it is noted that it is possible to view .pub files using the trial version of Microsoft Publisher. |
