Who can I complain to at corporate about discontinuing MS Publisher?!!

What really bothers me is that while registering to make a comment here, Microsoft makes me sign up so they can send me a bunch of emails pushing their other stuff.

I know I'm supposed to be polite here but I'm tired of these oligarchs taking advantage of us common folks. Microsoft knows they are not providing a "like for like" product, but they don't care. They are certainly aware of the hole it will leave for us smaller 'publishers', but it doesn't matter. I'm nearly 70 years old and just found out today that Publisher will be discontinued. I have used Publisher through the years at various churches to provide the weekly church bulletin, newsletters, various flyers and ads, and a myriad of other documents, solely because it was EASY and the end product is professional. One could manipulate text, boxes, pictures, photos, borders--just everything. It is beyond me what we are expected to use now for that purpose, and I'm incensed the Microsoft does not care. Because if they did, there would be a replacement product, not just NOTHING.

In these days and times, we must all think seriously about whether we want to continue to support these businesses which our dollars and interest have built. Like some of our representatives, they have forgotten where their bread is buttered; who puts those dollars into their pockets. I am so bothered about Microsoft's decision to just end Publisher without a replacement. WE built the Microsoft company and we like Publisher. Microsoft's decision to end this software will definitely affect my use of Microsoft products in the future. I will have to wean myself off your products in the same way I have stopped using and have boycotted businesses and products who don't serve me well during these tumultuous times. It makes me sad.

Please do not discontinue Microsoft Publisher. I work in the funeral industry and use Publisher to create memorial stationary using Publisher and it is by far a better product. I have tried using Word, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Express and others and though I can do some of the same things a Publisher, it is much more difficult and time consuming to use these other products. Publisher also saves all the Properties settings in my templates so that I only have to add information and print. All the others, I need to changes the properties every time. Please find a way to keep Microsoft Publisher.

I am writing to express my disappointment with Microsoft’s decision to discontinue Publisher. I have used this program for decades, both personally and professional. I have created some amazing newsletters, cards, programs, flyers and more. Numerous compliments and requests for the work I do with Publisher. I make all my greeting cards using Publisher so I can personalize them and make them special for the individual. I have tried other programs suggested (Canva, Word, Adobe) but after several attempts I have not been able to design the cards I wish to create. These options are not at all a substitute. With Publisher the layout was easy to navigate, and I could easily see what I was doing and what it would look like when printed. Will you please reconsider the plan to discontinue Publisher.

The suggested alternatives aren’t even close to what Publisher offers to its users. I’ve used this software since at least 2008. I use it for so many things as well as using Canva. I know which app is best for the type of project I’m doing because while some people think they are interchangeable, they really are not.
