Basics
Introduction
A word processor is a computer program that is used to work with
words i.e. text. Text is used in many different types of documents such
as:
1. Letters
2. Reports
3. Posters
4. Party invitations
A word processor is especially helpful because it contains commands
which you can use to do things to your text ( like change its size,
font and colour ) and added things to your text ( like diagrams,
pictures, and tables ).

Entering text – spacing rules
• There must only be one space between one word and the next word.
• Most punctuation marks (like commas, full stops, question marks, exclamation
marks, colons and semicolons) are typed with no space before them, and one
after them.
• Do not press Enter at the end of each line. When it starts to look like you are
going to run out of space at the end of a line, just continue typing – Word will
jump over to the next line for you automatically. This is know as word wrapping.
