Need Publishing Software

I need a software that is easy to use and works well to help furnish brochures, flyers and ads for a Non-Profit organization...in other words-can't spend an arm and a leg....

We have MS Publisher presently-and to be honest, not a big fan of it...

Anyone know a good program out there?

Look at Serif PagePlus. Current version 10 is $129.- (with free shipping and a free 4-port USB-hub).

BUT, many PC magazines give away older versions for free on their mag-CDs and there is also a free special edition PagePlus SE available here:

Will check into that...how do you feel about Adobe's Pagemaker?

Pagemaker costs a lot more ($499.-). It's really meant for professionals, as are Ventura Publisher and Quark Xpress.

In price it is hard to beat Serif. Get the trial-version and see if you like it.
I have PagePlus 8 and it suits my simple needs. Easy to use, I must say.
I have Publisher 2000 as well and I also don't like it.

Perhaps other TS-users know of some good alternatives (shareware?)
