| Catalog Description: |
Microsoft Office Publisher 2010 is a powerful desktop publishing
(DTP) program that assists you in designing and producing
professional, quality documents that combine text, graphics,
illustrations, and photographs. DTP software provides additional
tools over and above those typically found in word processing
packages, including design templates, graphic manipulation tools,
color schemes or libraries, advanced layout and printing tools, and
Web components. For large jobs, businesses use DTP software to
design publications that are camera ready, which means the files are
suitable for outside commercial printing. In addition, DTP software
is becoming a tool of choice for Web pages and interactive Web forms.
