Typesetting Program?

[grave_tidings]

Could any of you recommend a typesetting program that separates and prints out a manuscript in pre-programmed signatures?

I've tried to find my way through the TeX and LaTeX maze and their various accompanying programs/macros, and am entirely lost in the technical jargon. They also seem to focus on presenting scientific and technical information while I'm wanting to format and print simple signatures with illuminated artwork and then bind them.

When I look at commercial and free page layout programs, it's hard to tell which will produce signatures rather than just consecutive pages. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
