    Pages is a good suggestion.

    I wouldn't buy Pages until the reportedly much improved new version comes out, which (if '07 still has any meaning) should be any week now. Or month?



    Also, Swift Publisher looks pretty cool.

    That's a good point Hobbes. If one can wait it would probably be wise to do so at this point.

    What exactly is it that Pages isn't doing for you?



    It is pretty good and I use it to put together all sorts of professional documents from business cards to employee training manuals to catalogues, not to mention my rather complicated teaching materials, pamphlets and DVD case covers. It is linked with my iPhoto library (which is huge) so it saves me tons of time importing images (only legal docs come off of my printer without images!).



    I have Adobe InDesign, but it is now only used for a few files I haven't bothered to transfer over yet.

    Agree with Berg. It's so easy to add pics to your documents that it's a no brainer. Integrates nicely with iPhoto. For flyers it should work very well.

    If he / you will want it to play nice with Publisher ? good luck!



    Nothing plays well with Publisher, other then Publisher. It has been known to crash Mac's (I'm published on that statement!)



    Here and MANY companies we deal with WILL NOT except Publisher files, because of the problems it will cause when trying to work / load them onto a Mac.

    I am not aware of any Mac app which will read Publisher files. What do you use?
