It also provides tools for web-related documents. A word processor is a computer program that creates, edits, stores electronically, views, modifies, and prints documents. Unlike other applications, word processors were developed to meet writers' needs rather than scientists' or mathematicians' needs. Early word processors used electronic typewriters before becoming software programs that could be used on general purpose computers in the 1970s.

What is a word Processor?


A word processor is a computer program that is used to create, edit and print
documents. A word processor allows you to create a document, store it
electronically (such as on a disk), view it on a computer screen, modify it and print
it.
Unlike many computer applications, Word processors did not develop out of
computer technology. It was developed to meet the needs of the writers rather than
the needs of scientists or mathematicians. Typewriters began to be used widely in
the 1870’s. Almost a century later, after many refinements and improvements, the
features of typewriters began to be applied to the emerging computer technology.
The earliest word processors were computer software programs that worked with
an electronic typewriter. Some personal computers were designed especially as
elaborate typing machines and it wasn’t until the general purpose computers of
70’s that word processors became part of a collection of programs that could be
use on a computer.
The first Word Processing software program that was commercially successful was
called WordStar. It was released in 1979 and relied on a combination of keyboard
commands to edit text on a document period.
