more. The software allows you to easily
change the font style, size, and color of your
text.
You can also add images, tables, and even
graphs to make your documents more visually

using word processing software is
the ability to easily make changes to
your documents. Instead of having to
rewrite an entire page just to fix a
typo, you can simply go back and
edit the mistake with a few clicks of
your mouse.
