I'm looking for a replacement for MS Publisher. It has been my go-to application for anything that needs a detailed layout for printed materials (e.g., #academicPosters, #flyers, table tents, #businessCards). Now that #Microsoft will stop supporting it in October, I need a new idea.
What is everyone else using for desktop publishing?
#Canva is great for some projects, but the translation to printed materials has issues (like not being able to set margins). I've also tried #InDesign, but that has a steep learning curve and is overkill for what I need.
And no Word or PowerPoint. I've tried those too. This is not what they are designed for.

Surprising to learn that #publisher Taylor & Francis #advertises for #journal editors-in-chief, assoc. #editors, etc. — #service #roles in #academe (= no pay). https://tinyurl.com/4nn4caxb I've yet to see ads for #copyeditors, who require pay, in general-interest #magazines. Curious. #AmEditing

I finally chatted with a #publisher about my nearly finished book, only to learn that it’s not as close as I’d hoped. I will be seeking input from my siblings about what additional things they recall from our years of #Pentecostal church in the #1970s and #1980s. If you want to share any memories of your own, please do!

Not as annoying as finding folded page corners in a book, but still irksome, is finding a #typo in a book from a supposedly reputable publisher. Back in the days of old-fashioned #typesetting, I recall everything I read being flawless. Now with #DigitalTypesetting and automatic #spellchecking, I find typos. Not a nonsense word, but another English word that the spellchecker doesn't catch. I just started a new popular hardcover novel from a big #publisher and found a typo on the first page.
