hey people

Well i have a MSPublisher document (*.pub) that i need to open. how can i do that. I have microsoft office XP, but i'm not going to buy publisher as to open the file. Any solutions?

PS: if u know a small utility that would solve my problem, i'd buy it.

-> The workaround is to ask the person who created it to save it as a Word or other compatible format.
