Good program for creating creative flyers w/graphics?

[worldishis]

I need to do some marketing to local businesses and since there is no marketing department at my company its up to me to create some flyers to pass out. I was messing around with microsoft office, but I am obviously limited.

Im looking to create a flyer that has some depth as far as lettering (I.E. tapering, 3D, bubble letter, etc.) and will let me insert graphics. It would be cool if it had a 'bank' of already installed graphics I could pick from as well as letting me insert some I get off the web.

Ive never had to do this before so Im not sure whats out there thats popular. Any help would be appreicated.

Thanks,
worldishis

I thought I might add that the flyer Im looking to make is for Nasa and I want to put something like: XYZ is inviting Nasa to blast off with us in 2010 (or something cheesey like that) and I want a graphic of a space shuttle launching. Now that I just read that, maybe I should be asking for ideas for the flyer too ;)

If you dont want a full blown Desktop Publishing package, with a high price tag to match, Serif's Page Plus X4 (http://www.serif.com/pageplus/)is a fairly decent package and is quite easy to master.

If you want to try out an earlier version for free, have a look here (http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/software/pageplus/) .... it may be all you need.

That looks like it would be more than enough. Its cheap too. Thanks a bunch Phil.
