    the title says it all. I need to make flyers that have text and pictures and are editable.

    I second Publisher-It's great, too bad it's only packaged in the more expensive versions of Office, I know you can buy it stand alone but it would be nice if they included it in Home and Student or something

    Publisher is not bad. You could also consider making the whole flyer in image-editing software such as Photoshop, GIMP and Paint.NET.

    I would go with Publisher also. I've used it quite a few times to make tri-fold brochures. It also has many flyer templates.

    Just my opinion, but this should be moved to Windows OS software and we should all get credit for posts! Can I get a MOD? Can someone report this? Ha ha!

    if you can't figure out how to make a flyer in Word, you're never going to figure out how to do it in Publisher/GIMP/etc.

    I know how to make one in Photoshop, I've done it. I just dont have it since I got my new computer. I find word to be rather pesky to make a flyer with pictures, then it decides its going to rearrange them and put the text all kooky. I'll try GIMP.
