Forget about reverse exports to *.pub format, unless you feel like spending
some years with hexadecimal editor to understand the function of *every* byte
in the format and understand why Publisher does not agree with your file-format
understanding that is a result of reverse-engineering.

Very frankly, we are lucky that we have already a knowledge that allows us to
read the files. The import filters we have for publisher, visio or corel draw
are the best approximation and result from long months of work of 2-3 people
constantly. And fixing something like rotation and shape of a raster image in
Draw is not as simple as that and might lead to serious regressions, just by
touching it. So it is not like one can do it after a couple of beers during
rainy fall evening.
