Word Processing Programs for DTP

No, Word Processing Programs like MS Word can be used for only basic functionality of DTP only but they cannot be a replacement of DTP software.

Step-by-step explanation:

Word Processing Programs cannot be a replacement for DTP software. One uses DTP software for creating publishing documents i.e. postcard, business card, calendars, and books whereas the word processing software is used for creating and editing predominantly text documents and once can edit text, copy, paste, delete and format text. DTP software is used to create image-heavy newsletters, magazines, adverts, and brochures where the layout is important. However , one can create simple newsletters and flyers with Word processing programs with minimal images, simple fonts and simple layouts.
