Desktop publishing DTP software allows the user to produce printout in the style of a newspaper. That means in columns with pictures and other graphic features. DTP can be used to publish books, brochures, magazines, newsletters, newspapers, etc.
DTP is in fact a combination of several applications. It is integrated word processing and graphic design, with additional features to enable pages to be laid out in columns and images to be inserted. DTP software is usually frame-based. This means that pages are built up as a series of frames – each one containing one type of data – text, photo, drawing, word art etc.
