You might look at PaintShop Pro as a less expensive alternative for image
editing...

RE: brochures and publications
I, too, use MS Publisher and have found that MS Word will meet 95% of
your needs. MS Publisher simply provides for some larger type formats
but has the same functionality of MS Word. Are you really sure you need
something more than MS Word? I have produced pamphlets, brochures, and
handbooks with relative ease in MS Word after learning the tools
available in the program. You may definitely have need of a graphics
software package such as Adobe Photoshop or Ulead Photoimpact for your
editing needs. Adobe Illustrator has the capability to handle shapefiles
with an add-in.

I use MS Publisher (a Bill Gates and PC product) and it should suit your
needs.

Hi folks,
My job description has expanded to include the design of flyers and
brochures, and PowerPoint and Word just won't cut it anymore. I was able
to make do with them when I produced one or two flyers a year. Now we
want to create monthly newsletters and generate custom brochures for the
various events we attend.
Maps, photos and drawings will be regular inclusions.
Can someone recommend a software package that doesn't have too steep of
a learning curve? I've had a small amount of experience with Corel Draw
(a few years ago) but have probably forgotten most of what I knew.
Reasonable price would be nice, too, because if my boss thinks it's too
expensive I will be stuck with what I've got. Acquiring new software is
my idea, not his.
A software suggestion along with its strengths and weaknesses would be
absolutely wonderful, as would ballpark price.
We are a PC and Bill Gates shop here, if that makes a difference in your
suggestion.
Thanks a million.
Rick
