Default How do I convert a Publisher 8 file into an Excel spreadsheet?

My supervisor asked me to convert the name, address, etc. data in a Publisher
8 file into an Excel 2003 spreadsheet so I can print addresses on envelopes
in a Word 2003 mail merge.

He made it sound like I should know how to do it. I don't!

Do you know how to do it? You will have my eternal gratitude. Thank you in
advance for your help.

I don't know publisher so I can't be of specific help.

Just a thought. Can you copy/paste the data?

Thanks for your suggestion, Ian.
I don't have Publisher 8 to open the file. The boss just wants Excel to read
it and save it for mail merging in Word.

I don't think that's possible. I once tried to extract info from a Publisher
file to Word and had similar problems.

Try asking in microsoft.public.publisher instead. In my case, someone
offered to extract the info to Word for me.
