WHAT IS WORD PROCESSING

ord processing is a term that means using a computer to create, edit, and print documents. Of all computer applications, word processing is the most common. To perform word processing, you need a computer, a special program called word processor, and a printer. A word processor enables you to create a document. Store it electronically on a disk, display it on a screen, modify it by entering commands and characters from the keyboard, and print it on the printer. WORD PROCESSING COMPARED TO USING A TYPEWRITER The great advantage of word processing over using a typewriter is that you can make changes without retyping the entire document. If you make a typing mistake, you simply back up the cursor and correct your mistake. If you want to delete a paragraph, you simply removed it, without leaving a trace. It is equally easy to insert a word, sentence, or a paragraph in the middle of a document. Word processors also make it easy to move sections of text from one place to another within a document. When you have made all the changes you want, you can send the file to a printer to get a hard copy. Word processors vary considerably, but all word processors support the following basic features: insert text and delete text cut and copy page size and margins search and replace word wrap print

FEATURES OF STANDARD WORD PROCESSOR Word processors that support only these features (and maybe a few others) are called text editors. Most word processors, however, support additional features that enable you to manipulate and format documents in more sophisticated ways. This more advanced word processor is sometimes called fullfeatured word processors. Full-featured word processors usually support the following features: file management font specification footnotes and cross-references graphics header and footers page numbering layout macros and merges spell checker table of contents indexes thesaurus Windows and WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get).

The line dividing word processors from desktop publishing systems is constantly shifting. In general, though, desktop publishing applications support finer control over layout, and more support for full- color documents.
