I'm not sure if PrintMaster qualifies as desktop publishing in the purest sense of the word. Far as I remember, it was mainly a graphics-and-text manipulation program, although my memory's kinda fuzzy and I could be confusing it with another application. At any rate, you have to be familiar with publishing to use DTP software -- the one-time (current?) DTP software "for the masses" is PageMaker but serious publications scoff at it. For Free Software, it'll have to be Scribus. If you value ease-of-use over the fine control that a DTP application will give you, OpenOffice.org Writer will do, and I've created a nice-looking user's manual with OOo Writer. -- Daniel O.
