II. Look at this extract from an online tutorial for DTP publishing. Put steps in the creation of a DTP document (a-f) into the correct order.

a) First, the DTP designer decides the basic form of the document (the type of document, general design, colour, fonts, images, etc.).

b) The last step is to take the files to a service bureau, which will print the publication.

c) To create the DTP document, the designer begins by selecting a template or by specifying the settings of a new document (the page size, margins, columns, paragraph styles, master pages, etc.).

d) When the text has been edited, the designer imports the pictures and uses precise tools to position, scale, crop and rotate all the items.

e) The next step is to type the text directly or to import it from a word processing program like Word or WordPerfect.

f) Once the file is composed and saved, the designer has to prepare it for printing, which involves verifying the colour specification, creating a Postscript or PDF file, exporting the file in HTML format for the Web, checking proofs, etc.
