Maybe I should ask IT at job to buy Affinity Publisher for everybody instead. That software actually seems to be able to do everything one would've expected Microsoft Publisher to be able to but somehow doesn't.

@trinsec I am currently creating an Open University Science Club newsletter in LaTeX, this is going really well at the moment.

@zleap The problem is that people need to make reports for the kids in their classes. So, which software? They used to do this in Word. Sucks bigtime, obviously.

So, my next best thing was Microsoft Publisher as everybody has it on their work PC. It does have dumb limitations, however, but still better than Word anyway.

I can't install software and the IT dept is very conservative with adding new software.

For my own stuff, like if I'd have to create a newsletter, I'd just use Affinity Publisher on my own laptop.

LaTeX isn't going to help here. ;)

@trinsec Yes, institutions need .to be careful what they install
