Many common Publisher scenarios are available in other Microsoft 365 apps, including Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Please tell me ALL of the Microsoft Apps that have Publisher scenarios.

    Note : I am not a Microsoft employee and the responses are based on experiences and best effort.
    Interestingly, I've been looking at similar options.

    https://sway.cloud.microsoft/ appears to be the closest depending on what you need, but there quite a bit of the options will also be available via Word, etc.

    Note You can use Sway is free, but you need a Microsoft Account. (Free/Paid, Personal/Corporate will work.)

    If this works for you, please Mark is as an Accepted/Resolved, so that it can aid others as well

    If some part has worked, please add additional notes, so that I(Community) can provide additional support based on additional information.
