Quarkxpress
Quarkxpress is a desktop publishing software. It lets you create documents using page
layout software on a personal computer and it also allows you to edit text easily. It is used
by individuals as well as by large publishing companies to produce a variety of products.
These range from single page leaflets to much larger print products such as magazines and
full catalogues. Quarkxpress lets you move images around on the pages and add text. All
text and images can be reshaped and parts can be made
transparent so that layering can be created, For example
the background to text can be made transparent so the text
can be laid over the image, as would be seen in captioning.
