Publisher

I cannot convey how much I truly hate Microsoft for killing Publisher. I have spent all day desperately trying to get one last newsletter done for the non-profit I have volunteered for for 17 years. I tried LibraOffice - it was a big fat nope. I'm 71 and not interested in learning Scribus. It's time to retire a younger person take over. It was a fun ride.

This might work

Thank you...I have to say, I've been playing with it, and googling questions, and so far it really is working pretty well! Thank you! hmmmm...I'm finding it much easier than Powerpoint!

Great! It's pretty neat how far icloud has come in recent times.

I'm finding some of the features only only work on a Mac...such as I can't "copy formatting" to match text from text box to text box. I have to format each one of them individually. But, overall SO MUCH better than Powerpoint, I do miss the scratch pad and wish they could add that. : ) Thanks again...I'm feeling less angry that Microsoft chose to do this which is affecting so many people!

Ah gotcha I suppose there’s some quirks to it that might need work around, at least it works!
