    • Summary

      Word processing is the phrase used to describe using a computer to create, edit, and print documents. Of all computer applications, word processing is the most common. To perform word processing, you need a computer, a special program called a word processor, and a printer. A word processor enables you to create a document, store it electronically on a disk, display it on a screen, modify it by entering commands and characters from the keyboard, and print it on a printer.

      Documents like letters, memo and reports that have already been created can be opened, previewed, and printed with the defined margins. These documents can be saved with modification at different location. MS Word can automatically save the contents of documents at defined intervals.

      To create and design effective documents, you need to know how to format text. In addition to making your document more appealing, formatted text can draw the reader's attention to specific parts of the document and help communicate your message.

      Tables are used to display data in a tabular format. Microsoft word allows for insertion and manipulation of tables in formatting data.
