Can anyone suggest a free program for making a flyer?
I need to make 3 flyers for my Self-Defense class, and I don't have a program to do it with. Any suggestions?

2. Just use whatever word processing software you have on your computer.
Almost any modern (ie within the last 5 years or so) word processing software allows you to insert images into the text, and the rest can be done with larger font sizes and appropriate formatting.

3. Download the 30 -day Trial edition of Adobe Illustrator
You should be able to learn enough to make a 3 page flyer before time runs out, and you save to PDF.

5. Scribus and OpenOffice are free
Similar to Adobe PageMaker.

Also, OpenOffice should do the job just fine, and it runs on everything:
