[TriLUG] Re: Page Layout Tool

[Greg Brown]

For a little bit of money, under $80.00, you get get iWork from Apple 
(assuming you had a Mac - or, hey, Hotgrits, can you load OS X on linux 
via qmenu?).  Anyway, iWork's word processor, iPages looks ideal for 
creating these kinds of publications in the 10 minutes I've been using 
it.  Very easy.  Very simple.  Very professional looking and export to 
PDF in a snap.
