It sounds like you're looking for something like Microsoft Publisher. It should already be on your computer if you've got Microsoft Office.

If you are looking for a more professional typesetting and layout program other then Word, then you want InDesign or Quark. Both are what the pros use for books and magazines. Steep learning curve, but really they are fairly intuitive once you figure them out. If you are a student, you can get them pretty cheap, otherwise, they are kinda expensive.
