Desktop Publishing Software
Not all projects require a high level of presentation quality, especially projects designed for a company's internal use only. When a project is to be presented to external audiences, presentation becomes more important. Desktop publishing software can provide a document set with a higher quality presentation than a word processor.
- For documents requiring a complex or flexible layout, or with strict typography demands, the two most common packages are QuarkXpress and InDesign.
- For unstructured long document publishing, such as technical manuals, Framemaker and Interleaf are the most common choices.
- The open source Scribus desktop publishing software provides all the functionality of the commercial options and works both on Linux and Windows systems.

Famous quotes containing the word publishing:
“While you continue to grow fatter and richer publishing your nauseating confectionery, I shall become a mole, digging here, rooting there, stirring up the whole rotten mess where life is hard, raw and ugly.”
—Norman Reilly Raine (1895–1971)
