MICROSOFT PUBLISHER REPLACEMENT

Question

MICROSOFT PUBLISHER REPLACEMENT

Kirk Zehnder 40

Microsoft is discontinuing Publisher in 2026. I have used Publisher for years to create threefold 8.5 x 11 brochures. I loved the print and layout lines that helped create a professional look.

I reached out to the Microsoft Community and was given several suggestions. I tried many different products, including Canva and Adobe Express. I wanted to use PowerPoint, but did not know how to create the editing lines.

After some searching, trial and error, I found a solution so that I could migrate from Publisher to PowerPoint with all the features I needed. You cannot save a Publisher file as a PowerPoint file, so you need to add a couple of steps to migrate.

Here is a short video showing the solution I have discovered.
