![]() | However, I need some half-way decent DTP software to make it look nice. It could do with being free too So far I have tried Scribus but it seems particularly unstable (even on MacOS X). Any suggestions? |

![]() | @Grumbledook: Stop rubbing in the fact that I only have iLife 05! It doesn't have to be Mac based. Something with a wizardy thing would also be good to save me having to do any actual work |

If you are not sticking to Mac then you could always use M$ Publisher, that has lots of wizard-like things. Ric_ .... Ric_ ... no ... put down that sword .... AAARRRRGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! ok ... seriously though ... not done any DTP in Windows in a while but I use Publish-iT in an earlier version and quite like it as a basic package. I do find the templates in iWorks are quite nice and there are a few decent free templates out there if you search. | |
