I’ve been using Publisher for 30 years for all kinds of stuff, and I’ve gotten really, really good at it, with it all customized to my specs.
Now they’re discontinuing it in October, and supposedly it will stop working, and all my stuff will be unusable. I’ll have the final PDFs/JPGs/Pngs, etc but none of the files, if I want to modify them, which I do, frequently. I’ve tried Word, it sucks for graphics.
Now I’ve got to figure out a new replacement, and start a new learning curve. The one thing I am sure of is that the replacement will NOT be MicroSlop.
I recommend you try Affinity. Absolutely loved Affinity Publisher 2, haven’t tried yet how well Affinity 3 works for print work but I assume it’s more or less same as before.

Scribus is a noteworthy open source alternative.
Both of those look great, and I like Scribus for being on the outside. Ill have to do a little research and see how well Publisher files transfer.
It’s possible not to allow auto-updating.
