desktop publishing

Is there an app that I can use to create a 2-4 page newsletter?

The tablet-centric version of MS Office is out now for Android, but I'm not sure if that supports 12.2 screens yet or not. They have those MS templates ready to go, just like the desktop version.

Might be the screen size. When it was in closed beta it only supported screens up to 10.1 inches, and then they added the 10.5 ones at the end, but don't know if the 12.2 was included.

Not sure, I side loaded the old previews but then read a week or so ago that they unlocked it for everyone . . . sure enough, when I went into Play Store they were there . . so I uninstalled the sideloaded copies and installed the new ones directly from Play. I'm on a trial of 365 subscription now and have used the Word and Excel previews. It works, but I've had a random reboot while in word once or twice in the past week so I try to save often if I'm reviewing/editing a document.

I do not want a Microsoft 360 account

I thought the new Preview versions didn't require the Office 365 account, just a Microsoft account. At least that's what it says on the description. Unfortunately, it also says it's for smaller screens (although it does work with the Tab S 10.5... weeeeird)
"Sign in with a free Microsoft account to create or edit docs on tablets with a screen size of 10.1 inches or smaller."

Yeah you need a paid account for the 12.2. I wouldn't be surprised if by a build.prop edit or something the device type reported to the app could be changed such that the paid subscription isn't needed but I'm not sure if features are unlocked in the paid versions that aren't there in the free ones.

Neither do I but since I need MS Office compatibility to the greatest extent practical this is the only way I can get it.

Hopefully others have other suggestions to offer that will work for you.

I'm a beta tester for the preview and just hoping that they seriously look at functionality on our 12.2 . Right now it is horrible.
