Question 23 • CHS- TX-Professional Communications (CR)

Which best describes the difference between a desktop publishing program and a word processing program?

Answer
A
A desktop publishing program allows for control over the look of a document, and a word processing program primarily focuses on text manipulation.
B
A desktop publishing program provides control over graphics, and a word processing program primarily focuses on text.
C
A desktop publishing program creates documents with minimal input from a writer, and a word processing program requires a writer to input all information.
D
A desktop publishing program does not use templates, and a word processing program can use templates.

Explanation

Desktop publishing software gives users detailed control over a document’s layout and appearance, including the placement and formatting of text and graphics. Word processing software is primarily designed to create and edit text, even though it may also offer some layout tools. Choice A best captures this difference; choice B is too narrow because desktop publishing controls more than graphics.
