Hate MS Word - Help please!

Uh-oh. I just went out and bought MS Publisher. Now I don't know what to do.

Will this make a big difference? I finally found some glossy presentation paper that will work with my old inkjet printer so I was going to print it myself. However, my hope was to have it printed at Kinkos. Will I not be able to have it printed at Kinkos if I use Publisher?

How on earth do you get it to Kinkos anyway? On a flashdrive? Arg! I'm so completely clueless. I was going to stop by there and ask but they're closed today.

Either of them will work!

Should I buy one of those and return Publisher? I know Pagemaker is a great program. (Hmm, I should probably buy Pagemaker.) ???

I was thinking about buying through the bookstore, but my tiny university's bookstore is rather pathetic. I'm pretty sure that they're closed until the second week of January and I need to have this thing finished before January 11th. Good suggestion though!

Very cool! I had no idea something like that existed. I'll keep it in mind for another project. I've got to do this quickly.


Thank you, everyone, for your input!
