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.

With only about 18 months remaining, companies are under pressure to find replacements for software that's been a core part of operations for over 30 years. We’re asking Microsoft to provide a real update soon!! Loyal users need to understand what modern solution is planned and how it will be supported moving forward!
I've used InDesign in the past. It's not very easy to learn, and the program is expensive to purchase. That being said, you can do ANYTHING with it. Looks like I'm going to have to return to it to replace Publisher.

We dont need them. Heck, I have used Chromebook for years at work. So I can use one for my PC too.

They know they can make a stand alone but won't unless there is bigger push back.
Money talk folks.
Glad you can afford that. We can't
