<CORSA Chapters> Future Newsletters

[Bryan Blackwell]

Hi Steve,

Happy New Year!  I don't actually do a newsletter, but I've read a few :-)  One thought - if you have the actual Publisher app (rather than an O365 version) it should still work while you find an alternative.  One answer might be to use Word, I know a few newsletter editors do and it's at least ok.  One advantage is that I'd expect there's a direct conversion built in to one of them to either export or import.  It's worth noting that you're not the only one asking, I did a search for 'Publisher replacement' that turned up quite a few threads out there on the subject.  Depending on your layout and tools need, I did notice a couple of programs got repeat mentions - LibreOffice Draw and Canva.  I've used a couple other apps in the LibreOffice suite and they're decent.  Can't speak to Canva, but there is a free version so you can test drive it without any cost.
