IMO the best and easiest program to make nice documents is
Ragtime. I haven't use it for ages but it used to be my favorite, a million time superior to anything Microsoft has to offer. I haven't tried the latest version but it used to be very easy, very intuitive to use. Just draw a rectangle, chose where you want it to be and what you want to put inside (text, spreadsheet, drawings, pictures , ...), you can move it or resize later if you want, just like in a professional publishing software.
You can download a free trial version to try it first at ragtime dot de
