Hey all - I was very frustrated that Publisher was leaving as many of you are.
My husband created a mass conversion (into PPT) program that allowed me to convert my 4500+ files more efficiently than one by one. I know this is the last day, but here is the link to purchase in the Microsoft store if that can help you. The PPT files aren't perfect but at least I have access to my info for now. You do need Adobe Pro installed as well as your Publisher in order for this to work. You can download it for free with 3 free conversions to see if it's a fit for you.

or search "PubBridge" in the Microsoft store if this doesn't work.
Good luck!
