Course Description:

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

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