Publisher replacement ideas
Hey All, Looks like Microsoft won't be supporting Publisher after Oct. I have many hundreds of pages documenting the restoration of our land that I created in Publisher. I know I'll need to convert ...
Below are the alternatives available:
- Affinity Publisher:
- A popular choice for its simplicity and affordability.
- Offers a one-time purchase (no subscription) and is compatible with macOS, Windows, and iPad.
- Scribus:
- A free, open-source desktop publishing tool.
- Great for creating professional layouts, though it might have a slight learning curve.
- Canva:
- Web-based and very intuitive.
- Ideal for creating visually appealing designs, though it may lack advanced desktop publishing features.

It is not a solution. I have been using Publisher for countless years and I create flyers and Sunday church programs for a global ministry. This is not good and not good at all.
I agree with you Diana. The alternatives suggested do not enable you to read or use existing Publisher documents. I've been using Publisher for well over 30 years for church and other magazines, banners, posters and many other uses. I will not be able to access these now. Microsoft have been particularly unhelpful about this matter - a personal letter by mail to the chairman of MS at their registered US address was returned to me unopened.
