BleepingComputer.com: Looking For A Good Print Shop Program

A quick check of www.sourceforge.net revals a base model Imaging Program like you want: (sorry I got thru 16 of 60 pages and only found one)

mtPaint-I havent tried it yet

although I might suggest OpenOffice.org because I used to do that sort of thing with MSOffice back in the day.

Also I maybe able to help you get accoustomed to GIMP as I am also cutting my teeth on it (so to speak) right now and it's probly the best Graphic and Image Manipulation Software out right now (and I loved the new PaintShopPro before my trial ran out)

Had that issue as well just figured it out today (assuming your reffering to the Layer Dialog)
heres how to get it back

-File->Dialogs->Create New Dock->Layers, Channels, and Paths
then
-File->Dialogs->Create New Dock->Misc Stuff

BTW no such program as J Print exists in Sourceforge.net or Google.com search engines.

and you may want to checkout Souceforge.net (always remember it's .net not .com) they are an open source software development community. Just search what your looking for and if someone is making or has made it will be there.

Thats the ticket baby. I would have never figured that out. Thanks. Maybe I can get this to make a flyer now. I was calliing it a handbill because I couldn't remember flyer. Thanks again. Aund I will check our Souceforge.net Thanks again.

I know I am reasking the same question a different way but I need a program like MS publisher to make flyers, brochures, postcards forms for my business. I can't seem to find it in Gimp. Any simple stuff out there. Free is always a plus.

Could you link to some images of what you're talking about.
I've never used MS publisher, so I don't have a clue as to what it can do, or what your looking for.
If I had some samples of what you're looking for, I may be able to recommend a program, that'll do what you want,

You can do that, and more, with Open Office. Maybe it is overkill, but the price sure is right - free - although I'm not sure it will fall under the "simple" category.

Do you have a scanner or digital camera? Often they will include free software that might do what you want.

Thanks for the help again. I will see if it works.
