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 ?

    Rowan, I have a similar problem. It is a shame that Microsoft doesn't realize what a truly unique program Publisher is.  What I am doing is buying a computer/ laptop and loading an old version of Publisher. I purchased Publisher 2021 from Mr. KEY a very reputable dealer in England.As long as you don't put any other Microsoft program on it, it should work very well for you.

    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

    I submitted feedback through Publisher itself not a forum. To do so, open a new Publisher file, click File at the top left and open Feedback with the Windows key + F.
