LetraSet's DesignStudio is probably the *easiest* PC/Mac DTP 
program on the market to learn.  I know one DTP agency that 
uses it for all their work.  I don't believe it would be 
well-suited for really long documents, tho.  I sat down and 
was using it in just a few minutes.  You create 'boxes' on 
the page for both text and graphics.  It's easy to set how 
you want the text wrap to go, also (snaking; or magazine style 
where the article starts on one page and finishes on another 
page further back).  If you want to produce short docs with 
graphics, it's a good bet.   

And BTW, if you have an Egghead Software in your area, they 
will, many times, let you 'try before you buy' for 30 days.
That's the only way to go, as far as I'm concerned.  

If you want info on PageMaker e-mail me. That's what I am using,
among others, because I do really long docs.

Good luck.
