Are you looking for software that is only for your own personal projects (brochures, posters, etc.) that you'd print yourself; or to set up small desktop publishing projects that you might be sending to a print shop?
The reason I ask is a fair number of small mom-and-pop size businesses seem to use Publisher to generate print materials - even though the print shops do everything they can to discourage this, and tend to rip out their hair any time they get a Publisher document.
