Hi KiwiBrian

For DTP (desktop publishing) works I say:

- *Scribus*

- *DTP blender*
http://dtpblender.instinctive.de/cms/Main/Home

open source, no needs to pay for commercial use

- For A5 booklet (2 A5 in one A4) and page imposition Use:

- OpenOffice
www.openoffice.org

that have an automatic sistem to arrange in right sequence, two A5 pages
in one A4 (and in other formats), ready to cut and collate

for other softwares (free) look at:
