Key strokes per minute is a far more accurate way of measuring the speed of someone typing. Words can be 1 to fifteen or more letters, that makes a difference. Examples:- "I" counts as one word and it counts as one keystroke. "contraindicated" would count as only one word, but it counts as fifteen keystrokes.

Why is word wrap an important feature of word?

It allows you to do continual typing without worrying about needing to press "enter" to get to the next line if you are towards the end of the line. If a word is too long, word wrap will automatically move that word to the next line. This increases your typing speed. You do not have to constantly watch your screen to see where the cursor is located (for instance, you're looking at a document and typing it word for word so you don't need to take your eyes off the document you're typing to see if you need to move down a line). Unlike on a manual typewriter, when the cursor in the word-processor gets to the end of a line, if the operator is still typing, it moves that part of the unfinished word, and places it on the next line. This prevents half a word at the end of a line (unless the operator deliberately wants it that way!)
