Which page layout program is used to combine text and images?

• A. Adobe Illustrator
• B. CorelDRAW
• C. Adobe InDesign
• D. Photoshop

Answer: (C)

This question tests understanding of which software is designed for arranging text and images into professional page layouts. The best choice is Adobe InDesign, a dedicated page layout program used for magazines, books, brochures, and other multi-page documents. It specializes in combining text frames with image frames, enabling smooth text flow across columns and pages, and it provides powerful typography tools, master pages, and style systems that help create cohesive layouts efficiently. It also works well with other design tools like Illustrator and Photoshop, but its primary strength is handling complex page layouts and publishing-ready output.

Illustrator focuses on vector artwork and illustrations, not multi-page text-heavy layouts. CorelDRAW is another vector graphics tool with some layout features but isn’t as specialized for extensive text and multi-page publishing. Photoshop excels at raster image editing and compositing, not the layout management needed for long documents.
