On occasion, I have the need to design flyers, small newsletters, tri-fold brochures and other printed documents for my business or for civic groups I volunteer with.

In the past I have had access to Microsoft Publisher to create some of these things, but I am wondering if there is a better desktop publishing package out there for the small business and personal markets?

OpenOffice or Scribus

Both are open source

Adobe InDesign is a very popular desktop publishing program. It is more precise and feature rich than MS Publisher (as well as more expensive). If you find that Publisher is limiting and too basic for the work you do, InDesign is a good next step.

QuarkXPress used to be the program to beat. However, the company fired all their programmers and brought in cheap labor, and we all know how that turns out.
