PressLish for churches: keep your bulletins and newsletters after Publisher

Church offices can keep using their Publisher bulletins, newsletters and service sheets with PressLish: it opens the existing .pub files so you can change this week's dates, readings and notices and print as before, without rebuilding anything.

Your weekly routine, unchanged

1. Open last week's bulletin (.pub or PressLish document).
2. Change the dates, readings, hymns and notices.
3. Print it as a booklet or several to a sheet, or export a PDF for email and the website.

• Booklet printing and two-sided printing, as in Publisher.
• Ready-made church designs: bulletin, order of service and newsletter to start from.
• Replace in Files: change the date or name in a whole folder of bulletins at once.
• Mail merge for letters, envelopes and labels from your member list in Excel.
• Works offline and keeps your documents on your computer.
• One payment of $60, not another subscription.
