Sending a publication

If you send publications to people who might not have Microsoft Office Publisher installed on their computers, you can do any of the following:

* Convert the publication to a PDF file or an XPS file, and then send the file in e-mail as an attachment, or post it on a Web site and send readers a link to it.

* Convert the publication to an e-mail message so that your publication is sent in the body of the e-mail message.

Receiving a publication

If you receive a Publisher (.pub) file in e-mail and you are unable to open it, you can download a trial version of Publisher.

By using the trial version, you can also find out more about how Office Publisher 2007 can help you quickly create professional-looking publications.

After the trial expires, you can still use the trial version as a viewer for Publisher files, even though you can no longer create or change publications.

Nope, you will need them to send it as a PDF else you will need to source as copy of Publisher.

I seem to remember you can import it into CorelDraw, but then that's not much use if you don;t have COrelDraw either!
