My question is regarding Microsoft Publisher. I have version 2000 .pub but
cannot open a newer version with it nor with open office. Do you see a
possibility to help?

As you've discovered, Microsoft intends for you to upgrade whenever they release new versions, and
OOo has no read/write capability for pub files. I think you can still download a trial copy of
Publisher, then capture the content through cut-and-paste into a document in OOo. Writer and Draw
both have capabilities that might satisfy your requirements, depending on what you need to
accomplish. A quick Google search also turned up another possible solution, though I have no
experience with it:

Note the reference to odt -- that is the format native to Writer.
