How do I convert a Publisher File to a Word Document?

Steps:

1. Save the Publisher File as an image, like PNG (be sure to choose the proper picture quality).
2. Open Word.
3. Click the “Page Layout” tab.
4. Click the “Watermark” tab  and then  “Custom Watermark”
5. Click “Picture Watermark”
6. Click “Select Picture,” and find your Image File
7. Click “apply;” do not click “OK”
8. Determine whether you want the image “washed-out” (faded like a normal watermark) or not (shows up with no transparency).
9. Now, determine the approximate size of the image by selecting from the dropdown menu and clicking “apply” (not OK).
10. When satisfied, click “OK.”
11. The image is located in the header-footer region of the page, and so you need to double-click at the top of the page to bring the header into focus if you want to move the image.
12. Then, select the image and drag it to the proper location.
13. Complete any additional resizing of the image.
14. Close the header-footer
15. Save the file with a name and “TEMPLATE” at the end.
16. Every time you open the file, be sure to “Save As” with a different name to keep the Template file unchanged.
