    Microsoft Word
    Microsoft Word is a word processing software developed by Microsoft. It was
    first released on October 25, 1983, under the name Multi-Tool
    Word for Xenix systems.

    Subsequent versions were later written for several other platforms


    including: IBM PCs running DOS (1983), Apple Macintosh running the Classic Mac
    OS (1985), AT&T UNIX PC (1985), Atari ST (1988), OS/2 (1989), Microsoft
    Windows (1989), SCO Unix (1990), macOS (2001), Web browsers (2010), iOS (2014)
    and Android (2015). Using Wine, versions of Microsoft Word before 2013 can be run
    on Linux.

    Commercial versions of Word are licensed as a standalone product or as a


    component of Microsoft Office suite of software, which can be purchased either with a
    perpetual license or as part of a Microsoft 365 subscription.

    Microsoft Word used for?


    Microsoft Word lets you create professional-quality documents, reports, letters,
    and résumés. Unlike a plain text editor, Microsoft Word has features including spell
    check, grammar check, text and font formatting, HTML support, image support,
    advanced page layout, and more.

    Uses of Microsoft Word


    Microsoft Word is a word processor, and, like other word processors, it's
    capable of helping users create a variety of different types of documents. For example,
    users can create a résumé, business contract, instruction document, or a letter to
    another person. We've included a list of the top uses of a word processor on our word
    processor page.
    What type of files can Microsoft Word create and use?
    Early versions of Microsoft Word primarily created and used the .doc file
    extension, while newer versions of Word create and use the .docx file extension.
    More recent versions of Microsoft Word support the creation and opening of
    these types of files:

     .doc, .docm, .docx
     .dot, .dotm, .dotx
     .htm, .html
     .mht, .mhtml

     .rtf
     .txt
     .wps
