I think you cannot view a Publisher file in anything other than Publisher. Sort of hope I'm wrong, but don't think I am. You could try getting the person who's got the file to convert to something else like MS Word, but don't be surprised if it ends up being a mess. Just one other thought occurs to me. Just maybe, before the accounts arrived in Publisher, they were created in Excel or an accounts package. You could try asking for a copy of the original, if I am right.
