The content created by DTP software can be broadly classified into two categories

      Electronic Pages
      Virtual Pages

Electronic pages commonly refer to websites, manuals, eBooks, digital archives, presentations, etc. which are normally not printed but are shared digitally.

Virtual pages on the other hand are electronic pages created in the DTP software which are eventually published as printed pages. Virtual pages allow the author to visualize exactly how the printed page will look and can help in easy editing.
The process is called 'WYSIWYG' which stands for, ‘What You See Is What You Get’.
