[X4U] Looking for OSX replacement for Publisher

[Jim Colgate]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have passed them on to my niece. Is
Illustrator or InDesign a suitable substitute? I am definitely a novice at
the DTP world, but seem to remember them being mentioned on this list in the
past.

Thanks again for all the help,

   Jim
