I just tried to instal Microsoft Designer and was advised it is not available in this region. Is there any way around that? if not, what recommendations do you have for a replacement for Publisher? I've tried several options but not yet found one I like much.

    I am afraid no one can provide ways to go around regional availability issue.

    But if you have a perpetual copy of Office that contains Publisher, it can still run and work, it just won't receive updates anymore. If you are using a subscription, then the app will not work anymore.

    Otherwise, you can consider third party options like Affinity or Canva.
