I have been changing over from MSoft Word to MSoft Publisher to print

How can I save a word document (table) as a Publisher one (*.pub)?

Please help.

I don't think that you can directly convert a Word document to a
Publisher document.

The last time that I used Publisher there was an ‘import’ feature which
would pull in DOC files. It’s been a while since I went near Publisher,
DOCX didn’t exist yet, and of course if Microsoft wanted to be idiots they
could have deleted the function (digs up a Windows machine, loads
Publisher... yep, still there, under the Insert tab. Reads DOCX.)



But you can create a new blank Publisher document and then copy and
paste the table into it from Word, and then save the Publisher document.

That works too.



It's best if you use Edit/Paste Special, and then select Picture(Windows
Metafile) or Picture(Enhanced Metafile) - experiment to see which is
better. You can then use the re-sizing handles on the pasted image to
get it looking how you want it. I've done this a lot with tables from
Excel, but tables from Word should work in the same way.

I'm using office 2007 by the way, but would expect other versions to
behave similarly.

Office 2019/365/whatever Microsoft is calling it today works too.
