Introduction

More than 85 percent of the personal computers in existence today are equipped with word
processing programs. Word processing programs allow you to write, edit, format, save, and print
a document with ease. Using word processing software, you can produce a high-quality document
in much less time than if you used a typewriter. The reason is that word processing software
separates document creation from document printing. With a word processing program, you can
enter your work without being concerned about how the document will appear. Editing your
document is much easier and more efficient with a word processing program. You can use your
creativity to format the documents. Formatting is the process of adjusting the appearance of the
document.
A few special features most word processing programs include are: spell-checker, chesaurus,
style and grammar checker, mail-merge, and macros. Word Star, Word Perfect and MS Word
are few popular word processing programs.

One of the main advantages of a word processor over a conventional
typewriter is that a word processor enables you to make changes to a
document without retyping the entire document.
