Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October 2026 (support.microsoft.com)

Microsoft is not just no longer supporting publisher, the application will be just plain gone. It's extraordinary to me that a huge number of files representing many hours of human labour will suddenly become unopenable.

I'm not saying Microsoft Publisher is necessarily good, but at work I run into a layout problem that Word won't handle, and there's nothing else available to me there.

Crazy.

Open source it, you pussies

I feel like I have mourned the death of MSPub at least once before.

The incentive to continue getting MS Office continues to shrink. First Outlook Classic being slowly replaced, now Publisher.

Thank goodness I have the perpetual version of 2024. I honestly don’t use it all that much, but it still comes through in a clutch.
