<CORSA Chapters> Future Newsletters

[Dianna N. Moy]

Hello, Steve!
 
I have copies of Microsoft Office Professional 2021 LTSC (Long Term Service Channel) which has Publisher in the suite.  It is local to your PC and does not utilize the cloud.  Even when they sunset the product, it will still work.  If interested, please email me.

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.
