And if the content is primarily pieces of text, various vector graphics,
and placed images (jpeg, tiff, gif, png files, etc) that one is going to
want to tilt, scale, position and distort, Illustrator is the one to
acquire first -- and I'd add that after a little initial struggle,
Illustrator is really quite easy to learn and use (and to remember how
to use between uses, which is a non-trivial aspect of usability).

[Note: I've never played with TypeStyler, or any kind of page
composition software; but I've been an amateur user of Illustrator for
many years.]
