Microsoft 365 still has Publisher. Publisher may not be supported but it can still be opened. I never used it. It would be nice if Microsoft could remove the Publisher bloat in an update. Especially since Microsoft has been aware for a long time it was going to end support for it. Just saying.

    Microsoft started deprecating Publisher on October 1st, they have left Publisher in the Microsoft 365 subscription for a small while to give people that have many Publisher documents time to convert the documents to PDF files, Publisher will be removed soon from the Microsoft 365 installation, you cannot remove it manually, you just need to wait for the Office update that will remove the publisher app from Office.

    The Microsoft 365 referenced is a paid for, annual subscription. It is not "click-to-run."
