I have not found anyway to convert .pub to something else. I sometimes open them with pub, copy what I can to a word doc them save. You can also save the .pub as rtf I think. Then you'd have the text. Also I heard a long time ago the MS has a reader (works like adobe reader) for read only of .pub. I have not seen it.
Since I gave up with MS I have just redone everything in Scribus on Linux. -- Russ
