- People opening legacy Publisher files without Publisher
- Worth noticing
- A ZIP export preserves folder structure and includes a CSV listing each file, its pages, and items to check.
Field notes
The page says conversion runs locally in the browser and suggests turning off Wi-Fi as a privacy check. It also explains a first-visit font download of about 20 MB; before that download, font requests may reach the site, though the page says files do not. Publisher 2000-and-older files are described as less tested, with some styles or pictures potentially missing.
