I've organized a newspaper club at my public school and have enough photos and stories to print. All we need to do is design a layout and get it printed. What is the easiest program to do this in?

MS Publisher.

Might seem a little strange at first, but it's a pretty easy program and comes with newsletter templates. Most importantly, where you put something on a page is where it stays, unlike Word, which induces hours of swearing as graphics and text boxes do what they want.

I second the_beavers suggestion for Publisher.

Word is a word processor not a layout program. Publisher is a the poor mans Indesign and does a damn fine job of it with almost zero learning curve.

go with adobe products ... i can use ms publisher, but i find adobe more flexible ... and before office 2007, ms publisher was not a part of office and had to be purchased separately.

my university newspaper was put together using adobe pagemaker.

here's a list of good DTP programs.

adobe pagemaker and indesign can both be downloaded *cough cough* via bittorrent.

Thanks a lot guys. To keep things simple I'll try MS Publisher, especially since I have to teach the students to use it. If I were doing all the editing and page layouts it would take way too much time
