For anyone who made the service sheet in Publisher.
Publisher is going away. Here is what to do about your service sheet.
Microsoft ended support in October 2026 and suggests Word or PowerPoint instead. If your orders of service live in .pub files, you do not have to rebuild them by hand.
Open your old files, free
.pub, .docx, .pdf or a photo
No account needed. We keep your wording and your order.
Three steps, once
1
Bring your whole folder
Every old sheet you can find. We read them all, so your hymn history starts working on day one.
2
Check what we found
Anything we are unsure of is flagged, and your wording and order stay as they were.
3
It becomes your pattern
Every Sunday after that starts from it, with the new readings already in.
Your honest options
Keep Publisher running
A bought copy still opens, but it gets no fixes, and Microsoft 365 users are losing it through updates.
Move to Word
What Microsoft suggests. It works for text, but you lay out every page by hand each week.
Move to design software
Affinity is free and capable, and Canva has a free plan, but somebody has to learn them.
Move to Hymnfold
Built for this one job. Your sheet comes with you, and the design is done.
