Desktop Publishing

Desktop publishing (dtp) uses both word processing and graphics to produce publications and presentations.

Some common dtp programs are MS Publisher and Quark Express. Both Adobe and Corel have a number of programs that work like dtp programs. OpenOffice.org Draw is an OpenSource free option.

Desktop publishing programs layout their documents in a series of slides that can contain text, graphics and dynamic content. Content is added to each slide in a series which can be printed or saved as a slide presentation. Sound and music can also be added to the presentation.
