Publisher software

Question

The opening sentence in your email notifying us of the withdrawal of Publisher states that Microsoft is working to improve its products. How can removing a product that I have pay for improve anything? I use it weekly. It works well for me. I have years worth of Publisher files that I do not want to lose, nor do I have the time to convert them to PDF format. Please reverse your decision and leave Publisher alone. PLEASE.``[Moderator Note: Personal Info Removed]

Hello Alan Thierry

I completely understand why this decision is so upsetting.

Publisher is clearly an important part of your weekly work, and having years of files associated with it makes the change especially concerning.

Your feedback about continuing access to Publisher and preserving existing files is valid. While this community cannot reverse Microsoft’s decision, I encourage you to share your request directly through Microsoft’s feedback channels so it can be reviewed by the appropriate product team.

Thank you for being a long-time Publisher user and for sharing how important the application continues to be to your work.

Have a nice day.
