3.1. Introduction to Desktop Publishing

Desktop Publishing (DTP) is the creation of
documents by combining text and images

and placing them on a page creatively and
effectively. A key feature is its ability to flow

text around graphic objects in a variety of
ways.

3.2. Features of Desktop Publishing

• Most DTP packages provide a large, ready-made range of professional looking

templates to quickly create a publication.
• Frames allow text and images to be freely moved around the page.

• Guidelines, margins and rulers are very useful for the exact placement of frames.
