Well, I don't know how helpful this is (actually I do: not helpful!), but I generally use MS Word (for blank hex paper) or Photoshop to make my Hex maps. In photoshop you just make a 1" hex (easy in Photoshop 7), copy it all over, merge into one layer, and put it on top of your map.... then you can add all of your cool layer blending options (like pillow emboss... yum!).
