What do you use for a Publishing program?

[Margies3]

I've been using Microsoft Publisher to make my DVD covers. It's a long story, but now I am in the market for a publishing program. I am headed out in about 2 hours to see what I can find. I know I can get Publisher 2007. But it is very expensive. So I am open to other suggestions if anyone has a program they like as well or better.

Thanks for your input!
