I was hoping to find a Mac program we used to have called ReadySetGo by Letraset. It was a surprisingly capable DTP program published by a company known for its dry transfer lettering sheets. I wonder if anyone else remembers it!
My family must have bought it because they used to run a very small town newspaper, but I guess maybe given that they didn't own a LaserWriter, just an ImageWriter, and didn't have a pathway to get whole laid-out pages of the newspaper to the printer digitally, they decided it was better to just keep using MacWrite, write everything in a narrow column width, print it out on the ImageWriter, and cut it up to lay out the newspaper on big sheets of paper.
We used that for our Macintosh user group newsletter in college. It was one of the earliest of the new DTP industry tools.
