Publisher for Mac

[paddlebearer]

I edit a newsletter for my retirees club. I just replaced my pc with an iMac. How would you convert a publisher File so that you could edit it? Cut and paste like a word file.

Have a look at these programs.For what you want the second may well be better opening Publisher files in Preview format so you can work on them.

Are you looking fo a free solution

I'm partial to the Affinity products, and they happen to be on sale now at 50% off. Their version od Publisher may be able to open the M$ Publisher files.

Affinity – Professional Creative Software

From the smoothest photo editing and design software to next-gen page layout, Affinity is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with creative technology.

I have been advising folks who switched to a Mac and were using MS Publisher to find an alternate Mac program that was similar with great results.

Bob's suggestion to use Affinity is a good one as Serif (developer and long time Windows products) does an outstanding job.

However, there is one more product which I use for our bulletins which is very close to MS Publisher. It's called "iStudio Publisher" which is inexpensive and available from the Mac App Store.

It's unfortunate that MS never ported their Publisher program to the Mac as I believe it would have been popular.

I found an app on my iMac that lets me partition my HD so that I can install windows. I haven't tried it yet but I have it. My iMac is a retina 4k 21.5-inch 2019.
Thanks for the help.

I'm curious about which app you "found on your Mac" that let's you install Windows? Is it Bootcamp?

Do you really think that purchasing and running Windows on your Macintosh is a satisfactory solution compared to using a purely Macintosh solution? There are lots of page layout programs for the Macintosh, and most of them are quite a bit less expensive than a copy of Windows.
