So, you are saying I have to transfer all of my Publisher files over to something else by Oct. 2026? There is nothing that compares to Publisher! Please do not stop Publisher. I have files years back. I have used this program since the 1990's for brochures, marketing, etc. My friend who owned a print shop, at that time, told me to get it that it was the best thing on the market. She was right and it still is. It is the easiest program with the most bells and whistles. Please reconsider. I can't imagine the amount of time it will take to switch all my files over. Oh, please reconsider.

Praying for a reconsideration.
