Use WordPerfect.  You can probably pick up an old disc (6.1 or so) for 
pennies or even find it at your local used bookstore or Salvation Army.  It 
is word processing but has all the graphics you'll need for a beginner. 
There are multiple page borders, textboxes, graphics boxes, draw, chart, 
columns, custom boxes, art, line art, buttons, watermarks and the list goes 
on.  You can load 6.1 on everything from Windows 3.1 to XP Professional. 
Don't know about the new Vista.

I've done catalogs, show programs, flyers, show presentations, slide shows, 
pamphlets, cropped and edited photos and dozens of other things with this 
old W/P program that all supposedly need some expensive program.
