How do I open a .pub file without microsoft publisher?

appleblossom

I have been sent a file but can't open it as it's a .pub one. Normally I am ok at finding file extension viewers to enable me to open them, but I can't find one for this.

Can anyone advise please?
Thanks.x

There is no free viewer for publisher, unlike the other office products. However you can either get the person who sent it to you to convert it to PDF or other format, or download a publisher trial from here http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/publisher/HA102339061033.aspx

You can only open PUB files in publisher, i don't believe there's a viewer application

Not sure how that's relevant, it's for reading e-books.
