Well, if I was doing a simple 3 fold brochure or postcards, I'd use
OpenOffice.org.

If I needed to do a newsletter, with background images, text flow around
irregular areas and the like, I'd probably give OpenOffice.org a try, but
I'm not sure how well it would do. I just haven't tried it.

What sort of typesetting are you trying to do?
