The puz file extension is used by two software programs. The first program that uses the .puz file extension is Microsoft Publisher, a desktop publishing application with an emphasis on page layout and design. Microsoft Publisher competes with the Adobe InDesign and Adobe InCopy software packages in the desktop publishing program market. Unlike the aforementioned Adobe products, Microsoft Publisher does not provide built in copy editing and XML story board support. The puz file extension is used for Microsoft Publisher's Pack and Go feature, which is somewhat similar to the Preflight feature that is found in Adobe InDesign.

My computer was always popping up with registry errors and I couldnt get rid of them. Regtask did the job for me and took less then 5 minutes to speed up my computer.

I have to admit I'm no computer geek. When something goes wrong, I usually have to call someone to fix it and it costs me a lot of money. When my computer started to experience random freezes, I just used Regtask and now it works normally again.

My computer is 5 years old and runs extremely slow now. I was a bit sceptical about using Regtask, but just decided to give it a shot in the end and it worked out fantastically for me.

The Pack and Go feature is used when a user wants to package a publication created in Microsoft Publisher and either move it from one computer to another, or prepare said files for transfer to a commercial printing service. The Pack and Go wizard used in Microsoft Publisher compresses all of the files within the publication and adds a .puz file extension. Included within the compressed files are a Readme.txt file, plus an Unpack.exe file that is used to decompress the packed files.
