Hello, What software will people be using and why when Publisher is phased out in October 2026? Thank you.

I know there's InDesign and Canva. Also, will Publisher files be able to be converted ?

    Another of Microsoft's capricious, nonsensical decisions. Seems like a deliberate attempt to encourage us to switch to Apple products.

    If turning off automatic Office updates works for Publisher 2010, is that an option for the current version?

    Thanks for your comments. I am not a 'technical person' so I can't really comment on your suggestions but I am sure there are Publisher Users out there that could explain whether past CD versions could be re-utilised (reloaded?) by existing systems up to Windows 10 and then converting the files to pdf. Maybe? Maybe not!
