MS Word combines text, page and graphic capabilities in ways that reveal the work of
professionals. Hence, the term Desktop Publishing stands for the whole process of typing
content, adding graphic and photos, laying out the pages in creative ways, and dashing it
off to a printer. It is all done with the help of a desktop computer. We can’t do it
manually. These facilities are also available with many word processing soft wares. The
