Word Processing programs are direct descendants of the
typewriter. What word processing programs are
best at is text documents.
Word processing software works fantastically for text
documents and works well for graphic documents when you
can use the templates provided or created.
Fonts and Graphics
When you create a document in a word processor using special fonts and/or graphics (pictures, borders, etc.), if you print your document out, no problem.
However, if you email your document to someone, it may turn out looking completely different than what you created. That’s because graphics are often ripped out of email and attached and a font won’t show up on someone else’s computer unless they have the same font.
The solution? Convert your word processed document into a PDF.
PDF = Portable Document Format
Each PDF file encapsulates a complete description of a fixed-layout flat document, including the text, fonts, graphics, and other information needed to display it.
