This is an important announcement to all customers who use Microsoft Publisher to design their fixed overlays and import them into Lasernet Developer to incorporate into forms.

Earlier this year, Microsoft announced that Microsoft Publisher will reach its end of life in October 2026. After that time, it will no longer be included in Microsoft 365, and existing on-premises suites will no longer be supported. Microsoft 365 subscribers will no longer be able to open or edit Publisher files in Publisher. Until then, support for Publisher will continue, and users can expect the same experience as today.

However, we recommend that you start exploring alternative ways to design fixed overlays for your forms. For more information on how to do so, see What Alternatives to Publisher Can I Use to Design Fixed Overlays for Lasernet Forms?. To read Microsoft’s article, see Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October 2026.
