Course Description

You have probably created simple documents, such as letters and reports, using word processing applications.

Now you need to create high-quality single- and multiple-page documents for professional publication. In this course, you`ll use QuarkXPress to lay out professional quality single and multiple-page documents that include text and graphics, and are designed for professional printing and publication.
