The only way to retrieve information from an HTML file using Microsoft Publisher 2000 is to select Recover Text from any File in the Files of type field in the Open Publication window. You will be able to edit the raw HTML code, but you will not be able to view the code as you would in an HTML browser. The edited code must be saved as Plain Text, with an HTM or HTML extension.
