Although DTP is not an essential task that translators ?must? provide to clients, more and more often clients are requesting this service. DTP work can be carried out by using a word processor application with advanced features for character and/or paragraph formatting (Microsoft^® Office suite) or a dedicated DTP professional software application (Adobe^® InDesign^®, Adobe^® Illustrator^®, Quark Xpress^®, etc.).

To carry out a DTP job we must follow some basic layout rules and be acquainted with the features provided by these applications. DTP is not an amateur task, but a structured job requiring thorough attention to detail. In this webinar we will deal with general DTP issues, explaining how to manage some features and taking into consideration overall rules governing DTP. We will not be able to cover all the features/options of a particular DTP application, but we hope it will help you become more familiar with DTP to carry out some common DTP requests from customers.
