<CORSA Chapters> New Newsletter POC for Corvanatics

[newsletter at corvanatics.org]

Thanks all.

So far everything seems to be running just fine, and Molly informed me she just purchased a 2021 stand-alone version of publisher to use as well, so I think I am all set.

I appreciate all the feedback!

Thanks again,
 Mike

I use Publisher extensively.  They are to sunset Publisher at the end of the year, and any version of Office that is cloud-based could get time-bombed.

As an IT Consultant,  i have copies of Office 2021 LTSC (Long Term Service Channel), where updates are usually handled by an IT department.   It is on your PC, and does not access the cloud.  The suite has Access, Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Word.

If you're interested in a copy, email me.

Hi Michael Hill,
Just now, I added jetmechmike at yahoo.com to "chapters at corvair.org".  I found that email address from the CORSA membership lookup function on the CORSA website.  I hope that's correct!
As for MS Publisher, it's true that Microsoft stopped supporting it some time ago.  But it still works fine.  And it's way better than MS Word for newsletter layout.  I still  se it to create the newsletters for the Lehigh Valley Corvair Club.  My copy is from Year 2000.
Attached is a copy of my most recent newsletter - prepared using my old copy of MS Publisher.  My copy is installed on my PC, not in the cloud.  So there's no way Microsoft can come in and "time-bomb" it.
I still have the original Microsoft CD that contains Publisher software.

Hi Bryan,

Molly Bacon thought I should drop you a line and introduce myself as I am the new Newsletter POC for Corvanatics.  I am familiar with and using MS Publisher currently though I am seeing that MS Word has a lot of the same functionality, so I am thinking that is why they are getting rid of publisher? Time will tell, as I have not seen a specific end date for Publisher.

If all else fails, I am also getting myself familiar with LibreOffice, just in case.

Molly also stated she thought I should be added to the chapters list as she is no longer doing the newsletter. Can you do that?

Thanks and have a great day,
Michael Hill,
