1. What is the difference between Desktop Publishing and Word Processing software?

The word processing software main job is to allow to type an article, edit the necessary and offer some extra features like spell checkers, and simple margin and page layout features. And the Desktop publishing is like a printing press on a personal computer, you have the full control of every layout and its more professional than the word processing software.

2. One similarity is that they are WYSIWYG. Explain.

"What You See Is What You Get" this means that the document would be exactly as you see it in the computer. Means that the display simulates the appearance and represents the effect of fonts and line breaks on the final pagination using a specific printer configuration, so that, for example, a citation on page 1 of a 500-page document can accurately refer to a reference three hundred pages later

3. Explain why the PDF format is often used for distributing digital documents.

Because the PDF format is the most full service of all, and its better for the digital document to be saved in that format. If you use another one, the document may be changed by the format. With the PDF there is no change in the document.

4. Fonts can be divided in three categories: serif, sans serif and script. Post an example of each font with a description of each and where it is used.
