We have Microsoft 365 on macOS, but it doesn't include Publisher. I assume you wouldn't have that problem running it through Wine since you're running the Windows version. But the discrepancy in versions got me to seek a more local (macOS) solution. I landed on iWork, but I also have LibreOffice and feel like that's just the right answer for most people, if its Office R/W is as good as iWork's, where I have had no complaints/issues. (I've heard that it is, and I don't doubt that, I just haven't tested it.)

(It hasn't really been called iWork in a while but people know that's Apple's Office suite. Writer, Numbers, and Keynote are the official names.)

(Microsoft 365 is shit now, they nearly doubled the price and dumped a bunch of AI in it. iWork did the same, except it was free, and is still free, but the AI shit requires a subscription. I was able to get it out of the toolbars in Writer, but not Numbers, and didn't try in Keynote. This led me to install LibreOffice because of their "no AI" pledge. Though, I also use Ellipsus online, which is more like Google Docs but privacy-focused and also anti-AI.)
