KEEP CAMPUSPUB FILES INACTIVE USE.

Preserve useful campus publications and make them easier to reuse. Plan a Publisher migration around the newsletters, program guides, and departmental materials your institution still needs.

Keep Your Campus Content Working

Turn your publication into editable website content.

Review converted files before printing or publishing.

Requirements & supported files

Supports eligible Microsoft Publisher files. File support, conversion quality, and editability vary by source document and destination. Check text, images, fonts, and layout before use. Additional costs may apply.

Requires a supported Markzware application or MarkzPortal. Desktop and online capabilities vary. The optional WordPress workflow requires OmniMarkz, a compatible AI agent, and WordPress setup. Review all output before printing or publishing.

One institution. Many departments. Years of publications.

Publisher files can be scattered across departmental drives, shared folders, and staff archives. A migration works better when teams first identify what exists, who owns it, and which publications must remain editable. Start with a manageable sample rather than rebuilding every file at once.

Where Publisher content still matters

Departmental newsletters

Recover text and available images for recurring faculty, alumni, and community publications.

Program and event guides

Reuse approved descriptions, schedules, and design elements in a supported destination workflow.

Institutional archives

Organize legacy publications by department, year, and intended future use.

Turn Existing Publications into Editable Website Content

Reuse selected campus publications as editable WordPress drafts, ready for editorial, accessibility, and layout review before publishing.

Start small. Choose the right next step.

  1. Find & prioritize

    Identify the Publisher files that still have a purpose. Select a representative sample before processing the wider collection.
  2. Inspect & test

    Preview supported files, check available content, and test a conversion into the format your next workflow can use.
  3. Review & reuse

    Compare the result with the original, record exceptions, and approve content before production or publication.

Build a migration plan that departments can act on: an inventory, tested output options, and a clear list of publications to preserve, edit, or retire.

What to check before you scale up

  • Assign a content owner and reuse priority to each collection.
  • Distinguish public communications from materials subject to institutional access restrictions.
  • Review branding, links, image permissions, text order, and accessibility in the destination format.

Questions from Universities & Schools

Can we inventory files across several departments?

Use supported discovery and inventory workflows for the locations available to your team. Agree on access, collection boundaries, and naming conventions before combining departmental results.

Can we preserve originals and create editable versions?

Yes. Retain the original .pub files and create separate conversion copies for editing. Select output formats based on the destination application and the publication’s purpose.

Does a WordPress conversion make content accessible automatically?

No. Editable blocks provide a basis for web editing, but headings, reading order, alt text, links, and the finished page still need an accessibility review.

Give your Publisher files a practical next step.

Start with your files, your intended output, and the people who will review the result.

File support, output quality, and editability depend on the source document, available fonts and assets, and the chosen destination. Review a representative sample before expanding your workflow.
