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 ?

    can LibreOfficeSuite be used to create documents from scratch in exactly the same format in which I now create them using Publisher? If I copy and paste my most recent Publisher-created document into Libreoffice Suite will I be able to go on copying and editing that file in order to create new ones with the same standard graphics in it as the old one?

    What about open office? Do any of their programs open .pub files?

    MS is just as arrogant at it's founder, Bill Gates.

    Maybe? I've run older versions of Word over the years, decades. If we're happy working with Publisher, MS ought to leave us alone. A lot of us have existing Publisher work that we return to often. I want confirmation that MS won't screw the pooch for us.
