Another alternative is Serif software. If you want to do more
detailed layout type items. http://www.freeserifsoftware.com (I think
thats it) Download ANY of there programs and sign up to receive
emails of deals. Its worth it. I got the latest version of the DTP
thats $100-something for $9.99. They also sell a PDF converter with a
pretty good setup for $9.99. If I have the direct link to either of
those I'll post it.
