DTP vs Word Processing

While desktop publishing software has evolved to incorporate many of the features and principles of word processing, the emphasis is on layout and design. Simplicity and ease of use, combined with absolute layout control is what sets a good desktop publishing package apart from its word processing rivals. This is why desktop publishing software is used by professional designers for creating complex newspaper layouts, stunning glossy magazine pages, high-impact adverts, product packaging and more - in fact, examples of designs created with desktop publishing software are all around us in everyday life.

PagePlus SE makes light work of a number of design tasks that would be complicated and time-consuming to attempt with most word-processors. Here are just a few examples of how PagePlus SE can surpass your word processor…

Text Frames  

Text frames

Word processors don’t allow you to be very creative with text. PagePlus SE uses Text Frames for more flexibility! Type into a text frame and PagePlus SE works just like a word processor with a built-in spell checker, font settings and justification. However, you can also easily re-size and re-position frames anywhere on the page with simple drag 'n' drop, create as many frames as you like and even rotate or overlap them, something you’ll struggle to achieve with your word processor!
 
Text Wrap  

Insert images

You can quickly browse to images simply by clicking the ‘Import Picture’ button on the lefthand toolbar and insert them anywhere on the page – even on top of or behind other objects. Text can be automatically flowed around your image by choosing one of the ‘wrap’ options from the top toolbar - it's so easy to create professional-looking layouts in PagePlus SE.
 
Templates  

Folded Publications

If you want to create greetings cards, menus, booklets and other more complicated folded documents you’ll probably find that your word processor simply isn’t up to the job! With PagePlus SE, you don’t have to worry about splitting the page up yourself or working upside down as PagePlus SE handles the layout for you! You can even check your document and view the page orientation ready for you to fold when it's printed.
 
Artistic Text  

High-Impact Headlines

When you type in a standard word processor, you can use different fonts for your headings, increase the font size or use bold, but it’s difficult to make text really stand out from the page. PagePlus SE enables you to easily add flair with the Artistic Text tool and create truly attention-grabbing headlines and logos.
