I still use Publisher - for simple page layout (think label print jobs) it’s way better than word, even with templates.

I thought they’d dropped it years ago, haha - I’m still using a 2016 version. Those of us who use it have been a tiny minority since before it was a Microsoft product (I was using Publisher about 2 years before MS acquired it).

Definitely not a “popular piece of software” - never was.

Shame it’s going away though, I’ve always tried to get people to use it it instead of word when they’re trying to do page layout.

MS never really promoted/exposed it to consumers. It was never really a part of office, for example.
