One way to distinguish Timeworks/Publish It! files from the similarly-named PageMagic files is that file detectors such as [[DROID]] may detect PageMagic files as OLE2 ([[Microsoft Compound File]]) container, while Timeworks/Publish It! files are not containers and will be identified as a signature if one exists.
