A practical Publisher off-ramp

Preserve old work. Rebuild recurring work in tools people know.

Microsoft says Publisher reaches end of life in October 2026 and advises customers to convert Publisher files before October 1. It identifies Word or PowerPoint as starting points for many common Publisher jobs.

FolioForward does not convert .pub files. It gives teams fresh Word and PowerPoint layouts for the communications they still need to make.

Read Microsoft’s retirement guidance

Two real page sizes

Letter and A4 files are laid out separately. Buyers don’t have to shrink one size and hope.

Guidance stays attached

The pack includes editing, export, duplex, safe-margin, privacy, and accessibility reminders.

Original, stock-free design

Geometric artwork and sample text avoid hidden stock-photo dependencies and converted Publisher remnants.

Reference PDFs included

Every editable file is paired with an exported PDF for visual comparison and recovery.

Simple licenses

Buy the editable system once. Reuse it internally.

Before you buy

Questions, answered plainly.

Does this convert or open my Publisher files?

No. It is a fresh set of original Word and PowerPoint layouts. The included workbook helps you inventory and rebuild recurring work, but it does not convert, repair, or open .pub files.

Which software do I need?

A compatible, licensed desktop copy of Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Browser and mobile Office apps may not preserve every print-layout detail. Compatibility with Canva, Google Docs/Slides, Pages, Keynote, or LibreOffice is not promised.

Are the templates physically print-tested?

The release files have been exported to PDF and inspected at their stated Letter and A4 dimensions. Printers vary, so the guide requires a 100% paper proof before any full run. The files do not include commercial bleed and are not sold as CMYK press-ready artwork.

Can our volunteers share the editable files?

Yes, within the licensed organization. Editable source files may not be redistributed to another organization, client, or public template library. Choose the network license if five named sites need the files.

Are the sample church, figures, and event details real?

No. Organization names, people, dates, metrics, financial figures, addresses, and URLs are illustrative. Replace and approve every detail before publishing.
