I am not impressed to be losing Publisher. With a big tech company like Microsoft, why can't they combine the properties that Publisher has such as calendars, banners, posters, etc into Word?

Or will seniors, ADHD folks, etc all going to have to learn new programs that are not as user friendly and creative as publisher? Yes, I am very upset!
