PLEASE PROVIDE A STAND ALONE PERPETUAL LICENCE COPY OF PUBLISHER!

Question

If Publisher must be discontinued, I respectfully ask that Microsoft provide a stand‑alone version for those of us who still rely on it every day. I have thousands of Publisher files created over many years, and as a senior who volunteers for our local Food Bank and other non‑profit groups, Publisher remains an essential tool for my work.

I fully understand that a stand‑alone version would not receive updates or fixes. All I’m hoping for is the ability to continue opening my existing files and making small changes without losing access to decades of work.

Please, please consider offering a working copy so users like me aren’t stressed or left behind by this change. It would make an enormous difference.
