Hi JoAnne,

Depending on amount of pages you want to produce, you probably want either Scribus or Inkscape which are better suited for mashing images with long blocks of text. Or maybe you could use LibreOffice Writer, for starters. So my suggestion is to start with picking a better tool for the job.

We do not have phone number, because we do not have typical tech support, because we do not sit in one building, because we are not a company. We are a group of volunteers living around the globe.

I suggest you to start with Libreoffice...
