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.
