Description I do a 12 page monthly newsletter for the celiac disease support group I belong to. I use Microsoft Publisher 2000, which I find meets my needs very well.
Tips/Advice I was hesitant to go beyond the basic 2 column format, but when I got up the nerve to try a 5 column layout (2 double columns for text, 1 single on the outside for credits, clip art, pull quotes, etc.) I found it actually simplified my task, besides adding needed white space.
