Microsoft Word is a popular Text/Word Processing software. Simply, a word processor is a computer program that lets users enter text into the computer and edit , format(ex. change text size, modify writing style) , apply designs to that text, print it and perform many other functions.

It is used for the creation of reports, letters, memos, resumes, articles and all other kinds of documents that contain text. We can say that it is a successor to typewriter with many advantages like ability to store documents, correct mistakes without the need of overwriting or deletion with a rubber, copy and paste functions etc.

Open office is also a word processor. Unlike Microsoft office , open office is Free to download and use. Microsoft word needs to be purchased from microsoft corporaiton
