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.
You can sign up for Canva for non-profit and get a free license! I prefer Publisher for most things but I also use Canva for our non-profit and they have tons and tons of templates for newsletters.
Hi Tina
1 why would MS want to be such a pain in the ****, a take out the only Program that did the job so many clients use.
2 I saw MS dumped the latest Publisher. Unbelievably, they added in a range of problems that have ruined Publisher.
3 I have another laptop that has Publisher and will never connect it to the net.
scribus was a no go for me. It didn't even find my publisher files.
Thank you. Scribus is free so I’ll try it !
Scribus und Draw can open *.pub-files. Depending on the complexity of the document you have to adjust the correct size of pictures or fonts.
