I just checked and scribus does not import publisher files directly. 
There is a Rube-Goldburg means of getting your data from publisher to 
scribus that looks iffy but may work.

It is unclear from your post when you say "open MS Files". If you are 
talking about publisher. Then the above link is your option. If you are 
needing to open "Office" documents, OpenOffice reads and writes all of 
the MS Office formats.
