    A simple 3 fold leaflet can be done in MS Word if you have it, using templates from the MS website, eg.

    See article (You will need to adjust the measurements to A4 8.27 x 11.69 inches). You can divide the page up using Columns or Tables.

    A similar approach will work in Open/LibreOffice.

    If you want free DTP software then look at Scribus. but the ability to float text frames etc in Word is now so flexible that to competes with older versions of Publisher.
    A kind word lasts a minute, a skelped erse is sair for a day.

    Agree with Owen, I hate Publisher with a vengeance and find I can do better in Word in any case!

    I've always been a fan of Serif.

    Have a look at PagePlus Starter.

    They do send you emails, though, inviting you to upgrade. If you leave it a couple of weeks you will get the previous version for £9.99. From that you can upgrade to the latest version for about £20.

    However the free version is good enough for what you need.
