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 ?
A desktop publishing application from Microsoft that focuses on page layout and graphic design.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Libre Draw has master pages. I don't know where coil binding or tab bleeds are in Publisher, so I don't even know where to look. Go check for yourself and see if you can find it.
I have an 80 page 2 sided 5.5x8.5 book that we do every year. Unfortunately for us we changed the format to tab bleeds and coil binding.
What I like so much the ability to have master page layouts and booklet layouts then quickly switch to side by side 2 page layouts. I'm having problems finding these features.
Nita
I am not creating another email just to satisfy Microsoft. They will find a way to negate that, too.
feel for you I started yesterday and found my progress very tedious and slow.. quite apart from re-READING past decades old files ... grim grimace to conclude this post M.McA
I just ordered a copy of Microsoft Publisher 97 on CD. I understand that if I create a new Microsoft account using a different email address and load it onto my laptop using that on the key when I do, it will not be detected by my 365 account and I will be able to use that for Publisher indefinitely while carrying on using 365 for Word, Excel and Powerpoint on the same laptop without problems. Is that right? ie I don't need to put it on a separate laptop?
