Word processing was one of the earliest applications for the personal computer in office productivity.Īlthough early word processors used tag-based markup for document formatting, most modern word processors take advantage of a graphical user interface. Word processors are descended from early text formatting tools (sometimes called text justification tools, from their only real capability). Such word processors should not be confused with an electric typewriter. Word processors almost invariably allowed the user to choose between standard typing and word processing modes by way of a switch.
A word processor (more formally known as document preparation system) is a computer application used for the production (including composition, editing, formatting, and possibly printing) of any sort of printable material.Ī word processor may also refer to a stand-alone computer unit similar to a typewriter, but often including technological advancements such as a screen, advanced formatting and printing options, and the ability to save documents onto memory cards or diskettes.
