Silly question, but...

What program do you creative gurus use to make the name designs? You know, the ones where the letters are filled in with the background pictures?

I am so annoyed right now... I just bought a new computer. I had a system down for making the names... had done a few, and was very happy with how they turned out. I was using the word art function in Microsoft Word. But now, on the new computer, I see that it didn't come loaded with either Word or Power Point, or any other the things I was using. ARGH!! My own fault for not checking closer, but stilll ARGH!

So anyway, if I am going to have to buy new software or find a new system, I figured I would go to the experts. How do you guys do it? Any chance that there are any freeware programs out there to do this??

I downloaded Elements 7.0 - the free 30 day trial. I've been having some sucess with it, but I'm finding I'm just not a creative person in the graphic design area!!
