Word Processing - refers to the act of using a computer to create,
edit, save and print documents. In order to perform word processing,
specialized software (known as a Word Processor) is needed. Early
word processors were stand-alone devices dedicated to the function,
but current word processors are word processor programs running on
general purpose computers.

The functions of a word processor program fall somewhere between

those of a simple text editor and a fully functioned desktop publishing
program. However the distinctions between these three have changed
over time, and were unclear after 2010. These programs allow users to
create a wide variety of documents including (Word processing cycle
but certainly not limited to) reports, letters, memos, newsletters and
brochures. In addition to typing text, the word processor allows you
to add content such as pictures, tables, and charts to your documents
as well as decorative items including borders and clipart.

The most commonly used word processor is the Microsoft Word,

word processing software. It is used mainly for creating documents,
such as brochures, letters, learning activities, quizzes, tests, and
students' homework assignments. Of all computer applications, word
processing is the most common. Today, most word processors are
delivered either as a cloud service or as software that users can install
on a PC or mobile device.

Like most programs, Microsoft Word has certain terms and phrases that are specific to it.

Importance of Word Processing

-Word processors contain software to automatically correct common errors and identify
misspellings, improving overall speed and reducing errors. They also makes it easier to create
and organize new files as well as retrieve and manipulate existing ones. Furthermore, word
processing benefits the environment by reducing the amount of paperwork needed to perform
daily tasks (e.g., archiving, sending out letters, sending meeting agendas). By sending documents
via a secured email, the cost of postage and paper waste are reduced significantly.

The purpose of the MS Word is to allow the users to type and save documents. ...Microsoft
word is used to save documents. The documents can be copied to flash drive which serves as an
external memory for your computer. This allows you to use the saved documents conveniently
taking with you anywhere.

Advantages of word processors

1) It is faster and easier than writing by hand.
2) You can store documents on your computer, which you cannot do on a typewriter.
3) You can review and rewrite your documents.
4) There are more formatting choices with a word processor (the spelling, grammar and
language tools).

Disadvantages
1) Data can sometimes be lost due to data corruption.
2) Some symbols aren't easily accessible, which makes typing in different languages that use a
different alphabet is difficult.
3) Requires a computer to edit or view documents which may sometimes not be there,
especially when on the go.
