When you're actually ready to go, why not download the free 30-day trial
version of Adobe InDesign and use that?
And if you don't know the app, get yourself a copy of Adobe's *InDesign
Classroom in A Book. *You'll be charging ahead after only a few hours' of
learning time.
You can easily write the text in Word and then place it in InDesign when
you're at that step.
