Short Questions of Exercise

Q:1 What is meant by Desktop Publishing?
Ans: Desktop Publishing is also known as DTP. DTP applications are those applications which are used to print good
quality Visiting Cards, Magazines, Calendars, and Advertisements etc with the help of computers. This task is related
with the publishing and printing.
DTP applications are used to prepare beautiful, correct and high quality design of documents. It is easy to prepare
Page Layouts using DTP applications. We can control each object (text and graphics) separately in these programs.

Question 2 What are the different Methods of Printing?
Ans: There are two ways of printing:
1. Offset Printing: In this type of printing, ink sets on paper for printing documents. If we want multiple copies
or printing, than we have to use the offset printing. It is the cheap and best way of printing.
2. Lazer Printing: This is the common printing method. It prints text and graphics with good quality. It uses lazer
technology to print the documents.

Question 3 Explain the concept of Scaling, Tracking and Leading.
Ans: These are the different ways for setting of fonts. These are explained below:
Scaling: Scaling means increasing or decreasing of size of characters without increasing or decreasing the font
points.
Tracking: Tracking means setting space between characters of a word or line. It is measured in points.
Leading: Leading means increasing or decreasing gap between two or more lines. It is measured in points.

Question 4 What is meant by WYSIWYG?
Ans: The full form of WYSIWYG is What You See Is What You Get. It means we will get the same print of document
as it is seen on the computer screen before printing. The documents prepared with DTP seem very close to
WYSIWYG.

Q:uestion 5 What are Margins?
Ans: When we prepare documents, we set extra space along with the edges of the page. This extra space is called
Margin. It is the gap between text and edges of the page. Margins can be set at top, bottom, left and right edges of
the page. We can increase or decrease the value of margins according to our requirements.

size, its width etc. Some of the commonly used fonts are ARIAL, Times New Roman etc. Arial, Times New Roman are

documents in desktop publishing software’s. Set of fonts having similar type faces are called Font-Family.

Question 3 Write the difference between DTP and Word Processor.
