I use Word now but I would like to find a better software for laying out a magazine.

In this magazine, I would like to create columns (2 or 3 depending on the page), insert image on 1, 2 or 3 columns (like in a newspaper), independent frames on 1, 2 or 3 columns with text inside, a header and a footer different for the left or right page, etc.

Try Xiosis Scribe. It has a free form layout which allows you to drag and re size paragraphs as you like. In addition to all the usual formatting features, it also keeps content separate from layout so your formatting won't affect the text.

Adobe InDesign or QuarkXPress. These are desktop publishing programs, which are designed to do exactly what you want to do (among many other things): lay out printed pieces like a magazine.

If you are looking for software to use for making a magazine, I would recommend Scribus. It is open source desktop publishing software that is free. I haven't used it myself, but I know a couple of people who use it for a newsletter, and they really like it.
