Desktop Publishing Software - What's Good & Inexpensive?

Roadrunner · 08-16-2005, 09:52 AM

Can anyone recommend an inexpensive desktop publishing software that's under $100 and easy to use? Cheaper the better. I'm looking for something to help with creating flyers and maybe a newsletter. Any info is appreciated.

Broderbund makes a lot of easy to use "consumer level" graphics packages...

Before you buy, try out what you already have. If you have MS Office, it should have MS Publisher. Try it out, play around with it, find out what works and what does not work. THEN buy what you want.

BTW, off-topic. If you also want to do video editing and picture presentation, Windows XP already have Movie Maker. If not, get PROSHOW Gold. You'll love it.

Thanks for the input.

Francr, Thanks for the pointer to MS Publisher. I forgot I have Office 2003 so I'll give Publisher a shot. I took a quick look and I think it'll work for what I want. I'm also going to check out the Broderbund products too.

Broderbund, excellent suggestion John.
I have Printshop Premier Gold from around '97 or so, it is version 5.

It works great for flyers, newsletters, ect.
I have made a lot of stuff with it including busniess cards.
