For anyone who made the bulletin in Publisher.
Publisher is going away. Here’s what to do about your bulletin.
Microsoft ended support in October 2026 and suggests Word or PowerPoint instead. If your bulletins live in .pub files, you do not have to rebuild them by hand.
Open your old files, free
.docx or .pdf
No account needed. We keep your wording and your order.
Got a .pub file? Save it as a PDF first
Three steps, once
1
Bring your whole folder
Every old bulletin you can find, as PDF or Word files. 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 using Publisher
A purchased 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 bulletin comes with you, and the design is done.
