Microsoft tells abandoned Publisher fans to just use Word and hope for the best (www.theregister.com)

The Redmond-based biz warned last year that its venerable desktop publishing software would reach the end of the road in October 2026 when Office LTSC 2021 support ends. At that point, the application will be stripped from Microsoft 365, "and existing on-premises suites will no longer be supported."

So how should a user create a mailout or leaflet with terrible clip art and font choices? How will noticeboards get populated with flyers?

The answer, according to Microsoft, is to use Word or PowerPoint. Or perhaps Designer.
