In that case, you're on the right track with everything Macropod said. I wouldn't recommend buying Publisher unless you're going to be laying out magazines, books, or calendars for desktop publishing on a regular basis. In addition to the advanced layout properties for images that Macropod described, (if you don't already know), keep in mind that individual text boxes can be laid out with those same properties. That may help with call outs and nifty features to break up the 50 pages of body text.
