Common questions
Do I need Microsoft Publisher to use these?
No. The Word pack only needs Microsoft Word. The bundle adds the same designs as Affinity files.
Which version of Word do I need?
Word 2016 or newer, or Word from a Microsoft 365 subscription. The templates are .dotx files and open on Windows and Mac.
Do you have A4 as well as US Letter?
Yes. Every design comes in both sizes, so you are not resizing anything yourself.
Are these only for churches?
No. They suit any office that prints a regular bulletin, newsletter, program or flyer: churches, schools, clubs, community groups, nonprofits and small businesses. The sample text is plain, so it reads sensibly whoever you are.
Who’s behind this
SuccessionKit is a small independent studio that builds replacements for software that gets retired. Every template is drawn here, tested in Word and in Affinity on US Letter and A4, and printed on an office printer before it ships.
If a file will not open or will not print straight, write to hello@successionkit.com and a real person answers.
Keep printing the pages you already print.
