  What’s the replacement? Quark express?

    Many common Publisher scenarios—including creating professionally branded templates, printing envelopes and labels, and producing customized calendars, business cards, and programs—are already available in other Microsoft 365 apps such as Word and PowerPoint.

      Oh joy. I already have to deal with printing crap people didn’t know how to make properly in Publisher or Canva. I’m super pumped to get emailed an excel file and asked if i can print off as a business card

    Scribus, ideally.

    One piece of non-free software gone, many more to go.

      I’ve still got the box, CD, and Manual for Aldus Pagemaker, but what I use is InDesign from CS6 - the last non-subscription version.

    Powerpoint, obviously.

    Publisher 360 I guess with some extra expensive cloud subscription.

  Affinity publisher can be a reasonable alternative for a lot of people - while it lacks a few features in terms of multi-user collaboration it is far better in the actual graphical design area.

    I’ve been learning it over the last few weeks, and I can say it definitely has a learning curve for folks used to the Microsoft style, it’s pretty solid. Integration with the affinity photo and designer are nice too - moving assets across them is incredibly easy.

    It’s not free but it’s really affordable, and it’s not on a subscription so once you buy it you own it. Would recommend checking it out.

  This is the one program my dad explicitly uses in the Microsoft suite of programs that I thought, “Ok fine we’ll keep paying for this shit.” Time to start looking into alternatives. Microsoft… Even when I stop using their software they still cause me endless wasted time.

    I recommend Affinity publisher. Purchase once, no subscriptions.

  This just cements my session to switch to LebriOffice. Published is an amazing tool, and I use it daily in my work.
