  I really like Express Publisher 2.0 from PowerUp -- it works with
most printers (Epson / HP / a plethora of others). The scalable 
font technology keeps the amount of disk space it needs down to 
reasonable levels also. $90- $120 (depending on where you buy it).
It allows you rotate fonts, fit text around TIFF images, and 
allows a variety of font special effects. It also uses the same
font technology used in HP TypeManager (i.e. Compugraphic), which
means that you have a large variety of fonts available for use.

  Currently there is a deal thru Microsoft (Express Publisher is a 
partner product with Microsoft Works, evidently) that you can also
get a copy of Grammanik IV, 6 months of Inc. magazine and some other
things for small business use *free* if you send in the coupon and 
a copy of your sales receipt for one of the products listed on the offer.
I found about this at the local Software Etc. store, where they have a 
display set up.
