Journal Pages: Help Please?

[aunt_zelda]

So I'm doing a project for a class, and I think I'm going to write a kind of mock supernatural field-guide of sorts, with journal entries and pictures and such. But I want to type this up, not hand write my whole project and put it in a real journal. 
Is there some kind of template you can download where you can put into Microsoft Word and manipulate text and make it look like there's newspaper clippings side by side? Other than the obvious choice, which is Photoshop, which I unfortunately haven't the time or the money for right now. 
I just want my project to look like a photocopied journal or something. If not, I'll figure something out. I can mess around with columns and photos and borders, I'll make it work somehow. But if there's some kind of template I can get online, that'd be even better.

Well, we're taking a computer apps class right now, and we learned how to use all of these features on the latest version of Microsoft Word. Unfortunately, since you said you don't have Photoshop, I don't know of any way of manipulating the text like you wish to. _{If you had PS or some similar editing program, I'd create a small window, write the text in it, save the file as a .jpg or .png, and finally upload it onto your Word document and move and/or rotate the picture around as you wish.}

Anyway, I'm not sure if Word is capable of giving the desired effect by itself, and the manuals we read in my class don't mention anything about downloading something that can do that.

_{As you can tell, I'm having a hard time thinking of any good ideas, especially since I'm an artist who uses Photoshop like a lifeline at times.} o_o'
