How to open PUBHTML file?
The main problem with Microsoft Publisher HTML Document is that the PUBHTML file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file PUBHTML to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the PUBHTML file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Microsoft Publisher
The first step is to check if the computer has the Microsoft Publisher program installed. This can be achieved by typing Microsoft Publisher into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation.

Programs to open PUBHTML file
Remember to download programs supporting PUBHTML files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Microsoft Publisher with PUBHTML files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the PUBHTML file to open in the Microsoft Publisher application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the PUBHTML file with the Microsoft Publisher application.
Step 3. Update Microsoft Publisher to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Microsoft Publisher program with the Microsoft Publisher HTML Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Microsoft Corporation website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the PUBHTML file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to PUBHTML files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file PUBHTML or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected PUBHTML files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of PUBHTML file may not always be supported by the latest software version. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair PUBHTML file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Microsoft Corporation, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted PUBHTML files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the PUBHTML file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the PUBHTML file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the PUBHTML file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
