My esteemed listmates


I need to work on graphics on my personal laptop which does not have MS
Publisher on it. I can't work on graphics online so Office 365 is not an
option.


I thought I might use Libre Draw as a substitute for MS Publisher but it
seems to have its own methods/learning curve.


Has anyone found a comparison chart of how to do a function in MS Publisher
-vs- how to do that same function in Libre Draw? I've Googled it and not
found any.


After the wordprocessor battles were won by MS, MS released a chart for
former WordPerfect users displaying you how you used to do a function in
WordPerfect and how you do that same function in Word. Anything like that
for Draw?


I'd be interested in buying MS Publisher and/or Office 2013 or 2019 but MS
doesn't sell it. I've Googled OEM MS Office 2013 and separately Googled for
2019 but that's proven unproductive.


Has anyone found a trustworthy OEM of MS Office 2013 or 2019?


Or maybe there's a free (cheap), easy to learn and use (not GIMP) graphic
program you've found as a viable substitute for MS Publisher?


Thank you!


Charles.
