WORD PROCESSINGWORD PROCESSING

A computerized method of writing, editing, saving, and printing text.

DESKTOP PUBLISHINGDESKTOP PUBLISHINGBeyond Word Processing

“A desktop publishing program (DTP), also called a "page layout program," provides complete page design capabilities, including magazine style columns, rules and borders, page, chapter and caption numbering as well as precise typographic alignment. A key feature is its ability to flow text around graphic objects in a variety of ways. Although many word processing programs offer most of these features, a desktop publishing program provides ultimate flexibility.”

EDITING A DOCUMENT WITH HEADINGS

To efficiently edit a document that has a different font

size for the headings and the body (Example: Headings = 18pt., Body = 14pt.) . . .

1. Highlight the entire document

2. Change the entire document to font size 14 for the body

3. Then go back and change the headings to font size 18

This will eliminate having to highlight each paragraph individually and then the headings to change the font size thus eliminating steps and saving time.
