This document discusses desktop publishing (DTP) software and its features for creating professional documents. It describes the key stages in publishing a newspaper using information and communication technologies (ICT), from writers submitting stories digitally to editors laying out pages and sending them electronically to printing plants. The printing process uses offset lithography with computerized plate making to transfer images onto printing plates for the press. ICT has transformed publishing by allowing typesetting and layout to be done digitally rather than manually.
