Any better programs for business cards than Avery?

I bought their paper, and it provided a link to download their program so that it lines up to their paper.

However, I find it too restrictive. Although it "works" through ms Word, it doesn't let me use any of the templates Word has to offer. To top it off, it doesn't even let me create my own templates that I can reuse.

Are there any better programs (that will recognize the paper (Avery 8859) that I've bought)?
