Ms Publisher in Studio 2015

Does anyone know how to work with ms publisher documents in Studio 2015? 

Thanks!

  • Hi Hagen,

    We won't have a filetype for this as it's a binary format and a lot of work for very little demand. But I guess a good developer could create one if there was enough demand for this through the OpenExchange. It probably depends on how well documented the format is by Microsoft and this I don't know.

    There has been an OpenExhange app create this evening (not by the developer I mentioned in the thread Walter shared), will possibly go live tomorrow some time, and this can apparently extract the translatable text from a publisher file so you can handle it as xml in Studio and then reimport it back into Publisher again afterwards. I was unable to test this myself as it only supports the 2010 version of Publisher at the moment and I have 2013, so it crashes for me. But if you have the 2010 version, even a trial version, then you may well be able to use it.

    I'll post the link here once it's published.

    Regards

  • Hi Paul,
    Thanks very much for the update. Yes, MS Publisher seems to be a rare tool (thankfully), though we have one regular user and get other casual requests every few months. Therefore we'd be very interested to test the OpenExchange app for 2010 version.
