Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October 2026

Open source it, you pussies

Microsoft is not just no longer supporting publisher, the application will be just plain gone. It's extraordinary to me that a huge number of files representing many hours of human labour will suddenly become unopenable.

I'm not saying Microsoft Publisher is necessarily good, but at work I run into a layout problem that Word won't handle, and there's nothing else available to me there.

Crazy.
