OmniGraffle doesn't offer this level of control over text layout; the
best it can do is text blocks and multi-column tables (no text flow
between columns or even between pages). It's definitely not a page
layout app.

However, it does offer some features that make multi-page documents
manageable, like variables (which you can use for page numbering,
among other things) and master canvases (like page templates). It also
seems the upcoming v5 has more features aimed at facilitating the
creation of multi-page docs.

I mentioned OmniGraffle because it sounds like cost is an important
factor in your decision. IMO it has a great bang/buck ratio.
