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

Please help.

"LibreOffice has supported Publisher's proprietary
file format (.pub) since February 2013."

And LO handles .docx in LO Writer, so you'd be using
LO Writer to work between .docx and .pub. Each of the
LO tools supports different file extensions, and at a
guess, it's probably Writer that you'd be using.

If that did not work, you could see if your tool flow
supports .rtf as an intermediary. Rich Text Format
was a kind of interworking file format, which in my
opinion, never worked 100%. One of the acid tests I had,
was to export as RTF, import as RTF, and see if the
documents look the same.

I would be really surprised, if Microsoft didn't have
some capability to go back and forth. But if you
can't figure it out, you can try LibreOffice.

Another format, in the year 2020, might be PDF, but
I'd save that path as a "pure desperation" option.

If I wanted to run LO and Office on the same machine,
I'd probably run LO in a VM (virtual machine), so
the tools can't "see" each other. It's the file association
I'd be worried about (not only controlling the associations
at installation time, but also dealing with bizarre behaviors
every time the two softwares run). They could mess around
at any time if they wanted to. For example, in the past,
a copy of LO here, would upset Microsoft Word Viewer (freebie).
