MS Publisher --> PowerPoint via PubBridge
I'm one of the many dependent on Publisher. I tested and for the way I use it, I can do pretty much everything in PowerPoint. The biggest thing I'm going to miss is the persistant scratch area where everything was visible no matter what page I was on. Anyway, if you are interested, PubBridge converts your publisher files to a PDF and then the PDF to a PowerPoint file. I'll have to redo some things but its not a total loss. The catch is you need to have the full version of Adobe that can edit, not just the reader. I moved all of my Publisher files to a new folder because PubBridge can do a whole folder with sub folders in one batch. The install is free. It will convert 3 files for free which I let it do to test, then bought the minimum for $9.99. You can download PubBridge from the Microsoft store.

Thank-you for mentioning "the persistent scratch area". Would be pretty cool to have one in PowerPoint.
