How to convert a Publisher file to Word
Publisher pages are built from boxes placed anywhere on the page. Word is made for text that flows from line to line. So a Word copy is best for reusing the words, not for keeping the exact look.
The quick way
Upload your .pub files on our home page. You get a Word file with all the text and pictures in reading order, plus a PDF and an editable PowerPoint that keep the layout.

Use the PowerPoint file we give you. It keeps every box where it was, and you can edit text in PowerPoint, Canva or Google Slides. Or open our PDF in Word with File, Open. Word converts the PDF into an editable document, though complex pages may shift.
Free option
Open the .pub file in LibreOffice Draw (free), select the text and copy it into Word. This works for a few files but is slow for many.
