Fascinating Fact:

Proofreading checks spelling and grammar, while editing improves clarity by changing words and sentence structure.

In KS3 ICT, processing text and images means refining digital content so it communicates well. You might adjust layout, correct errors, rewrite unclear parts, and prepare images so they suit the purpose and audience.

Key Terms

Proofreading: Checking a finished piece for spelling, punctuation, and small mistakes.
Editing: Improving meaning and flow by rewriting, reorganising, or removing unnecessary parts.
Layout: How text and images are arranged on the page to make information easy to read.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

What is the difference between editing and proofreading?

Editing improves the message by changing structure, wording, or order. Proofreading is the final check for spelling, punctuation, and minor errors before sharing or printing.

Why is layout important when processing text and images?

Layout matters because it helps readers find key information quickly. Clear headings, spacing, and image placement make a document easier to understand and more professional.

How do you choose the right image for a document in ICT?

Choose an image that supports the purpose, is easy to understand, and fits the audience. Make sure it is the right size, looks clear, and does not distract from the text.

1.

Text in a DTP is usually created .......

[ ]	directly from a database linked to the DTP software
[ ]	in a CAD application and then exported to a DTP suite
[ ]	in a spreadsheet and then imported into a DTP
[x]	in a word processor and then imported into a DTP suite

ICT is always a case of choosing the most appropriate software to carry out the task

2.

Images in a DTP are usually manipulated .......

[ ]	directly in a DTP
[ ]	in a graphics card and then imported into a DTP
[x]	in a graphics editor before importing into a DTP
[ ]	in an image viewer and then transferred to a DTP

Image editing is best handled in specialist software

3.

An advantage of DTP over word processing is .......

[ ]	DTP applications are faster
[ ]	DTP applications are more expensive to buy
[x]	DTP has greater control over page layout
[ ]	DTP is what professionals use

The different elements of a publication stay exactly where they have been placed so when you print the document, it looks how you intended it to be

4.

DTP applications are 'frame based' which means .......

[ ]	text and images are arranged on a framework
[ ]	text and images are arranged on a grid
[ ]	text and images are arranged on a grid called a 'frame'
[x]	text and images are contained in boxes called 'frames'

Word processing software does not have these frames which is why it is so much more difficult to use it to layout a print publication

5.

Frames can be dragged around .......

[ ]	from one page to an adjacent page wherever you want
[x]	from one page to any other page wherever you want
[ ]	No they can't! Frames are fixed in position once created
[ ]	on the page they were created on but nowhere else

This is what makes a DTP program so flexible

6.

Which of these is not usually true of text frames?

[ ]	Can be made in unusual shapes - not just rectangular
[x]	One frame can be on multiple pages of a document
[ ]	Link together, so text flows from one frame to another
[ ]	They can be positioned in columns on a page

A frame can only be on one page, but frames on different pages can be linked. When you put the text into the first frame, if there is too much, it will automatically flow into the linked frame on a different page. You can link as many frames as you like

7.

Which is not a reason for creating a DTP template?

[ ]	Creating a master copy of a page layout for repeated use
[x]	For a document which will only be used once
[ ]	Maintaining a consistent look to related publications

No point creating one if it won't be used again!

8.

Templates might be useful for creating what?

[ ]	Flyers
[ ]	Web pages
[ ]	Newspapers
[x]	All of the above

DTP software usually has built-in templates that you can use or you can create your own

9.

Most DTP programs feature 'grids'. Grids are used .......

[x]	as a reference to place text, graphics and tables accurately
[ ]	to create tables easily
[ ]	to enable graphs to be drawn
[ ]	to work out the coordinates of an object on the page

You can hide or show the grid

10.

Some DTP programs allow the use of 'styles'. These .......

[ ]	are designer looks - young, professional, glossy etc.
