Bill Gates did not make up the name Microsoft Word. It was one of his colleagues who thought of it. They had come up with the Word Processing program and one of his colleagues said "Well why don't we name it Microsoft Word?" Gates liked this idea because before Microsoft was not a well known company. This name would accurately tell what it was and help make their company more popular and known throughout the world.
