Microsoft Publisher Document (PUB) is the native format of Microsoft Publisher, a desktop-publishing application aimed at newsletters, brochures, flyers, greeting cards, and other page-layout work. Unlike Word, Publisher treats a page as a canvas of independently positioned text boxes and graphics, giving precise control over layout. A PUB file stores that arrangement along with the text, images, and print settings. Microsoft has announced that Publisher will be retired in October 2026.
Microsoft Publisher, included with some Microsoft 365 plans on Windows, is the only application that renders PUB files exactly as designed.
No other application reproduces Publisher’s full feature set — LibreOffice Draw imports many PUB files, though complex layouts often shift. The most dependable approach is to ask the sender to export the document as a PDF from Publisher, which preserves the layout perfectly and opens anywhere. Our PUB to PDF tool can also do the conversion.

A Word file is a text document created in Microsoft Word, saved today with the .docx extension. It holds far more than plain text: paragraph and character styles, headings, tables, images, headers and footers, footnotes, comments, and tracked changes all live inside the same file. Modern Word documents are Office Open XML packages, an open published standard, which is why so many non-Microsoft programs can read them.
Microsoft Word is the obvious answer, and Word for the web views and edits documents in a browser with a Microsoft account.
If you do not have Word, Google Docs, LibreOffice Writer, and Apple Pages all open Word files. Fonts and spacing occasionally shift between applications, so when a document must print exactly as written, convert it with our Word to PDF tool first.
