Question

Microsoft publisher has been removed prior to October 26, 2026. Why am I not able to continue to use it up to that date? I need to access files and complete a project that was started in publisher,

Answer 1

It depends on which version of Office you have. Current subscriptions that include Publisher will have that program until October 2026.

If you have a perpetual license that includes Publisher, such as Office 2021 Professional, you can use the program even after October 2026.

Note that the newest perpetual license, Office 2024, does not include Publisher.

Answer 2

Publisher has disappeared from my computer even though it was part of my Microsoft Offic 2021 pack. I have no access to any of my publisher files, can not even see them! Microsoft need to fix this now. Can not download or reinstall from original Office. ?????

Which specific Office 2021 product do you have? Note that Publisher is not included in all versions.

In most cases, you can search for Publisher via the Windows Start menu. Or you can search File Explorer for the mspub.exe executable.
