Depending on the size of your document... if it's short, try using
Libreoffice draw. It can use all sorts text layout objects from
it's word processor brother.<br>
<br>
If you need exact control (more than a word processor) over how text
is laid out then I would recommend Scribus.... Otherwise, use
Libreoffice draw and save yourself the learning curve.<br>

Scribus is a pretty decent full-line DTP environment for Linux, but it hasn't always been the most stable... Recent releases seem pretty good, however.
There's a new-kid on the block called Laidout (laidout.org), it's not totally new, but newly useable. It's pretty rough in many spots (e.g. text flow is missing and text handling in general is pretty limited), but if you're looking for something more like a comic-book layout tool or greeting-card maker, it looks pretty good.
There's also an older project for more newspaper-style layout, passepartout (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.stacken.kth.se/project/pptout/">http://www.stacken.kth.se/project/pptout/</a>), but it hasn't been updated since August 2007, so it has bugs and issues that (quite probably) won't get fixed.
I don't know of any other (aside from the commercial titans like the InDesign suite) significant products in that space.
