,Word processing software
Word processing software is designed to allow users to manipulate
and design text.
Word processing software is used to manipulate a text
document, such as a resume or a report.You typically enter text by
typing, and the software provides tools for copying, deleting and
various types of formatting. Some of the functions of word
processing software include:
Creating, editing, saving and printing documents.
Copying, pasting, moving and deleting text within a document.
Formatting text, such as font type, bolding, underlining or italicizing.
Creating and editing tables.
Inserting elements from other software, such as illustrations or
photographs.
Correcting spelling and grammar.
,Word processing software
Word processing includes a number of tools to format your pages. For example,
you can organize your text into columns, add page numbers, insert illustrations,
etc. However, word processing does not give you complete control over the look
and feel of your document. When design becomes important, you may need to use
desktop publishing software to give you more control over the layout of your
pages.
Word processing software typically also contains features to make it easier for you
to perform repetitive tasks. For example, let's say you need to send a letter to all
your customers regarding a new policy. The letter is the same for all customers
except for the name and address at the top of the letter. A mail merge function
allows you to produce all the letters using one template document and a table
with customer names and addresses in the database.
Text editors shouldn't be confused with word processing software.
While they do also allow you to create, edit and save text documents,
they only work on plain text.Text editors don't use any formatting, such
as underlined text or different fonts.Text editors serve a very different
purpose from word processing software.They are used to work with files
in plain text format, such as source code of computer programs or
configuration files of an operating system. An example of a text editor
would be Notepad on the Windows platform.
, Word processors can create multiple types of files,
including text files (.txt), rich text files (.rtf), HTML
files (.htm & .html), and Word files (.doc & .docx). Some
word processors can also be used to create XML
files (.xml).
A word processor should not be confused with a text
editor, such as Notepad, that only allows editing and
creating plain text documents.
