Does anyone know if there's a free application that could do that?
Thanks for any info,

I believe that OpenOffice Writer portion of the Office Suite can do all of that. I just looked at it and columns is very easy. Text boxes with wrap around or stand alone shouldn't be a problem either. Since I don't use those functions often I'd have to work my way around the program to learn all it can do. If you are looking for a specific program type, another great resource is http://download.cnet.com/windows/ . Use the search function and it'll find you several free or low priced programs with ratings and sometimes reviews. It is a site that can be trusted and they have an excellent selection.
