It also prepare salary slips and salary checks in offices and factories. o store and retrie"e large amount of information in offices. o send and recei"e electronic mail and fax. o search and retrie"e the information from other computers. o control and simulate defense e;uipments. o create animation cartoons, mo"ies and compose music. o regulate traffic lights on roads. o control machines and robots in factories. o design automobiles, buildings and dams and to forecast weather o reser"e tickets in the transportation sector for example railway and airlines etc. Microsoft Wor , word processor is a *omputer program that enables you to create, edit, print and sa"e document for further retrie"al and re"ision. In simple language word processor is nothing but processing of word i.e. constructing sentences, to write different letters, prepare pamphlets project reports etc. .ne of the chief ad"antages of word processing o"er a con"entional typewriter is that a word processor enables you to make changes to a document without retyping the entire document. 7xample type in a letter after typing, it you can go back and changes margins, add sentences, delete word, and correct spelling error and so on. he most important feature being the print pre"iew option allowing you to see how a document may look after printing, to get an error free document printed.
