Catalina-compatible Microsoft Word doesn't offer Publishing Layout option!?

Catalina-compatible Word doesn't offer Publishing Layout View. Had I known this, I never would have switched to Catalina. Publishing Layout is incredibly flexible - you can size and position images however you want via dragging them. In the current Print View, they just snap into a grid - you can't move them around, overlap them, etc. Are there settings in the new version of Word I'm not seeing that would mimic Publishing mode? If not, is there other software I could buy to achieve the same functions?


Thanks!

Control-click on the picture. Select "Size & Position". Select the Text Wrapping tab. Choose "In front of text". I use that all the time for putting images where I want.
