Page Maker Files ???

[Craig White]

I'm not sure why you would toss out an answer that you don't know works
or even bother to check...

to the original poster...short answer is that you can't really do that.

You might be able to print them to PDF or to an EPS file and then edit
the PDF - but I doubt it's possible. If you need to get the text out of
the files, you probably could print them to PDF from Pagemaker and then
use something like pdftk to get the text out of it.

Scribus is a very good program - clearly not up to Pagemaker, In Design
or Quark Express standards but certainly usable in its own right.
