, Introduction to Word
Processors
A device or computer program that provides for the manipulation of text in a graphic environment that resembles a
page or paper. It often includes additional features.
Early word processors were dedicated devices. Dedicated devices perform only one task, for example, a washing
machine. Microsoft Word was made public in the early 1980s.
It is by far the most used word processor in Macs and PCs.
Today word processors are programs that run on general-purpose computers. This is made possible by the increase
in microprocessors.
These are popular because of:
The faster speed achieved on electronic keyboards.
The additional features such as spell checking and auto correct that enhance effective communication.
In this guide we will be focusing on Microsoft Word. Please open your Word application to follow along.
Word files are called documents.
