You are most fortunate, even though we live on the edge of a town with 10,000 inhabitants, there is nowhere you can buy fresh fish within 10 miles. Similarly, we have no greengrocer or butcher within the same distance. We have a small Tesco and an even smaller Co-op but neither sell fresh meat or fish, only pre-packaged stuff.

Do you catch your own fish ? or is it delivered where you live ?

Read the reply here :- https://lucidpress.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360010243006-How-do-I-open-a-pub-file-

Publisher saves as .pub files which are a proprietary Microsoft format. AFAIK nothing other than Publisher itself can save a .pub file. I believe the open source DTP program Scribus (note - I have never tried it) http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.5.4/ has an import filter for publisher files and can open a .pub file, but cannot save it. Alternatively you could use a file converter like zamzar https://www.zamzar.com/ to convert it in something you can edit (.pdf, .docx or whatever) Publisher 2016 is £109.99 https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/p/publisher-2016/cfq7ttc0k5d0? or Office 365 Personal https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/store/b/office?activetab=tab%3ahomeorpersonal contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, Outlook, Publisher (PC only), Access (PC only) for a mere £59.99 per year (£5.99 per month)

I see what you mean

Keith Have you tried this ?
