Hello all,

I have a website that is on Microsoft Publisher. I am looking to get Publisher on my MacBook. Is this possible? If so, anyone know how I can get it?

Thanks,
Willie

Microsoft Publisher is Windows only.

You could install Windows using either Parallels or VMWare Fusion (or Boot Camp), then run Publisher in Windows. Though honestly, I wouldn't touch Publisher in any OS, although that's a different story.
I do not like those green links and spam.
I do not like them, Sam I am.

no no no no no no

MS Publisher is EVIL.

If you're intimidated by Dreamweaver or working with HTML but want more flexibility than you get with iWeb (standard on Macs) try RapidWeaver from Real Mac Software. I think it's 35 dollars or so, and would be a nice replacement. Once a web page is saved as an HTML document, you don't need Publisher to open and edit it, you can use any web design application. And Publisher is for print anyway, just because it exports to HTML doesn't mean one should use it that way.

There's also free and open source applications out there. There's a bit of a learning curve, but worth checking out. NVU (envyoo) is really nice, but less newbie-friendly.
