Software needed

[PineRidge]

Guys I am looking for software that is user friendly that will enable me to make pages with graphics and text like the following example. The easier to use the better.

MS Word should do that for you - it's what I use to make my business cards - and I'm no great shakes at word processing software - but I get through it ok.

Any of the MS Office word processors should work. Might want to try a business card template so the "boxes" are already set up.

If you don't have a good word processor, get one for free at:

Word---I have used the business card template to make up block adds such as you show, also coupons, whatever. You can insert graphics and set the properties to determine how the text flows around the graphic.

Other option if you need more graphics option is to use Publisher, then copy/paste each creation into a business card size box on a template. In Publisher you can group all your components together, so their relationship doesn't change, then shrink or expand. I found Publisher easier to use when adding a lot of arrows, shapes, etc.

If you already have MS Office, you might look to see if you have "Publisher" (although I THOUGHT it was called "Pagemaker", seems I'm wrong )

Anyways, "easy" is a relative term. I'm not an expert and was able to figure out how to make it work for my needs.

I'd imagine Word could do it also. Thing about Publisher, you can perhaps make the spacing of it more exact to what you want.

Another vote for Publisher, easy to use and you can place stuff anywhear you need. Word will do it but not near as easy..

Thanks for the tips guys I'm going to 1st try Word and if that isn't sufficient then Publisher.
