Can anyone convert this from a publisher file to a word file? I know it will change the layout some which I would be happy to fix myself but I don't have publisher to even open the document. (I wish I did! I'm totally jealous of those of you that have it!!)

Thanks a million chefs!!
 
I agree with ksmedic. I just bought the Office Home and Student edition today for my mac and it doesn't have publisher on it. This sounds great and I'd love to try it! Can someone put it into Word?
 
i have a 'free trial' of publisher it lets u use it like 15 times before you have to pay for it, so I only use it when I HAVE to, and sometimes you can do the trial more than once... go to the microsoft website and u can get the trial. publisher is sold by itself for WAY too much (like $200+) i dont know how to convert. theres also a PDF file, but that doesn't help with changing the contact info
 
Here is a word document - copied/pasted from the original PDF. I hope this is ok. Please remove it if it is not.I do suggest re-formatting it as need be. :)

Thank you for putting it into a Word format. I GREATLY appreciate it! I just finished printing out what I need to start putting together my host packets and my catalog show packets. Now I can add a "Think about it" pack to have on hand for those times I will need it.
 
Love the think about it packets!

No problem! I used to be a desktop publisher - and I also have an InDesign version if anyone is interested. :) but obviously word's much easier for everyone - lol.

How do I get it to PRINT in a booklet format?? It just wants to print one page per page and I don't want that, I want it to print 2 pages per page in a booklet form. Does that make sense? Help!! Send me a PM about it. Thanks. :)

Nevermind, I got it. ;) Just change the page format to Landscape and it will print it out like a booklet. In case anyone wanted to know.
