Microsoft Publisher Document (PUB) is the native format of Microsoft Publisher, a desktop-publishing application aimed at newsletters, brochures, flyers, greeting cards, and other page-layout work. Unlike Word, Publisher treats a page as a canvas of independently positioned text boxes and graphics, giving precise control over layout. A PUB file stores that arrangement along with the text, images, and print settings. Microsoft has announced that Publisher will be retired in October 2026.

 

How to open a PUB file?

Microsoft Publisher, included with some Microsoft 365 plans on Windows, is the only application that renders PUB files exactly as designed.

 

No other application reproduces Publisher’s full feature set — LibreOffice Draw imports many PUB files, though complex layouts often shift. The most dependable approach is to ask the sender to export the document as a PDF from Publisher, which preserves the layout perfectly and opens anywhere. Our PUB to PDF tool can also do the conversion.

Word Open XML Document (DOCX) is the default format of Microsoft Word since the 2007 release and the most common word-processing format in the world. Despite appearances, a DOCX is not a single document but a ZIP package holding Office Open XML files, images, and styles. That structure makes DOCX smaller than the old DOC format, far more resistant to corruption, and readable by software that has never seen Word.

 

How to open a DOCX file?

Microsoft Word opens DOCX natively on Windows, macOS, the web, and mobile. Word for the web handles most documents in a browser.

 

LibreOffice Writer, Google Docs, and Apple Pages all read and edit DOCX, though very complex layouts can shift slightly. When the formatting must stay exactly as the author intended, convert the file with our DOCX to PDF tool before sharing it.
