Microsoft to stop supporting Publisher by October 2025 - How to replace?

Affinity Publisher 2

Easy learning curve. Price is 1x, no monthly subscription fees.

Agree 1000%. I love Affinity publisher. I use the iPad version which is very affordable, and has virtually all the functionality of the desktop version. (The desktop version is also a bargain IMO especially if you compare it to Adobe products ... Affinity is better and cheaper). I highly recommend getting all three products if you can afford them as you gain functionality of the other products within the interface of the one you are working with. There is a big discount if you buy the whole suite. But just getting publisher would be a great solution too.

Look up classes by Affinity Revolution to get started - she is a good, clear instructor. I used Skillshare to get the classes - got a license just to get the Affinity classes - but she has a lot of free content available on YouTube. Bonus for you tomcat - she is a plant lover and uses plants in a lot of her examples.

Bought it.  Now I just have to find the time to get acquainted with it.
