A very nice warm welcome to you all
What is the link for downloading DTP software? There is a company offered a job and I did not apply because I have no idea about DTP at all.
I feel shameful because of that actually. Please reply and thanks
Yours
Mr. Imad

DTP software means Pagemaker, Photoshop, Corel Draw, Gimp, Publisher, etc.
Most of these require learning courses, although you can teach yourself them with the aid of e-books, manuals and tutorials. Also, you can download demo or limited versions of these from their websites.
Now, normally a translator is not a designer, so our use of DTP software is mainly limited to produce a layout duplicate of the original file.

Dear Imad,
If you have the full version of Microsoft Office installed in your computer the chance is that you have Office Publisher. It is not as comprehensive as those mentioned by Edwal, but it's a good start.
Though, you might have to get some of the more common fonts that are normally not included in your operating system and Office (Helvetica for example).
Good luck!
