Answer 1

To speak with a support person about Microsoft Publisher (for home use), use one of these options:

Use Microsoft Office Support online
1. Go to the Microsoft Office Support home page: https://support.office.com/
2. At the bottom of the page, select a support option (such as chat or call back).
3. When prompted to choose a product, select Publisher (or Microsoft 365 & Office) and follow the on-screen steps to connect to a support agent.
Use the Publisher Help Center
1. Go to the Publisher Help Center: https://support.microsoft.com/publisher
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select Contact Us.
3. Describe the issue and choose Contact Support if prompted.
4. Select chat or request a call back from a support expert.
Use the general Microsoft 365 customer support entry point (home products)
1. Go to the Microsoft 365 Customer Service and Support page for home products.
2. Select Chat or receive a call back from a technical support expert.
3. Sign in with the Microsoft account used for the Publisher/Microsoft 365 subscription.
4. Choose the appropriate product (Publisher/Microsoft 365) and follow the prompts to reach a live agent.

If a phone number is required, use the customer service phone numbers page referenced in the Microsoft Q&A answers, then follow the prompts for Microsoft 365/Office and Publisher. For personal (home) accounts, phone support may be limited and chat/call-back via the web is the primary method.

I don't know what I'm doing & no one will help me. I need to talk to a real person. Publisher is expiring, I have files I don't want to lose & I think it's ashame that you would discontinue a service & just abandon the customer like this. I don't know what I'm doing. I need the assistance of a real person. I'm not computer savvy enough to risk losing my files, tryong to figure this out.

There is no one at Microsoft who can help you with Publisher or any other product. Microsoft does not offer one-on-one instruction or troubleshooting, and hasn't offered those services in many years. If you need detailed assistance in what to do, you'll have to hire a professional technician.
