What are others doing to replace MS Publisher? The MS suggestions of Word & Power Point will not work for me.

    Hello Joan Barrett

    I can see that you wish to purchase perpetual version of Publisher and The MS suggestions of Word & PowerPoint are not working for you.

    Microsoft does not currently offer Publisher as a separate standalone purchase. The official Microsoft option that includes Publisher is Office Professional 2021, which is a one-time purchase for 1 PC.

    You can look up info about Office Professional 2021 here: Office Professional 2021

    Please also keep in mind that Publisher will reach end of support in October 2026, including the perpetual version, so it would be a good idea to plan ahead for any important .pub files you may want to keep accessible.

    You can read more about this info here: Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October 2026

    Feel free reply back to this post if you require further assistance, I'll be happy to help.
