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.

Hi,
I use Publisher to create the free local magazine. Word does not do the job well enough, and Powerpoint does not print out in an easy-to-use manner that allows booklets to be made up. What can I do?
Regards,
Rowan

Thank you for this. I will send them a message.
There isn't even a Publisher forum to post Feedback in!!
I love making schedules and color coded calendars. They are perfect for us as seniors and our children and grandchildren can read and understand them.
I think you need to put the publisher tools in the word app.
Publisher is easy to use and user friendly and we have used it for years. Without it we won't be able to make the cool things as the calendar in Word really is not good. It is limited.
I will miss the ability to make things with the grandchildren for projects and special days like birthdays and anniversaries. It is sad to see it go.
Will there be suggestions for apps for the app we are losing. I assume the price of Microsoft 365 will drop with the cutting of programs.
