I was exaggerating to make a point...ie, it's unlikely that using LaTeX would produce a BETTER garage sale flyer* than Word would, and the time spent learning to use it for that task would probably better be spent else-wise.
It would be nice if WYSIWYG software knew WYM, and always produced WYRN (What You Really Need.)

I found that Lyx was pretty good as a WYM/WYRN converter. It turns LaTex into first-approximation visual rendering, and then when you're done you can compile it to PDF for the really nicely tex'd version. I haven't used it recently though. I don't PDF anything anymore since I want reflowable content. It probably has decent output now, but I haven't tried it.
