    Word processing involves using a computer, word processing program, and printer to create, edit, and print documents. Word processing is the most common computer application and allows users to create documents, store them electronically, display them on screen, modify them by entering text and commands, and print them. Advanced word processors provide additional formatting and manipulation features like fonts, graphics, headers and footers, layout options, macros, merges, spell check, tables of contents and indexes, a thesaurus, and multiple document windows.

    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.

    Features of Standard Word Processors

    Word processors that support only these features (and maybe a few others) are called text editors. Most
    word processors, however, support additional features that enable you to manipulate and format
    documents in more sophisticated ways. These more advanced word processors are sometimes called
    full-featured word processors.Full-featured word processors usually support the following features:

    file management :Many word processors contain file management capabilities that allow you to create,
    delete, move, and search for files.

    font specifications: Allows you to change fonts within a document. For example, you can specify bold,
    italics, and underlining. Most word processors also let you change the font size and even the typeface.

    footnotes and cross-references: Automates the numbering and placement of footnotes and enables you
    to easily cross-reference other sections of the document.

    graphics graphics:Allows you to embed illustrations and graphs into a document. Some word processors
    let you create the illustrations within the word processor; others let you insert an illustration produced
    by a different program.

    headers , footers , and page numbering:Allows you to specify customized headers and footers that the
    word processor will put at the top and bottom of every page. The word processor automatically keeps
    track of page numbers so that the correct number appears on each page.

    layout :Allows you to specify different margins within a single document and to specify various methods
    for indenting paragraphs.

    macros : A macro is a character or word that represents a series of keystrokes. The keystrokes can
    represent text or commands. The ability to define macros allows you to save yourself a lot of time by
    replacing common combinations of keystrokes.
    merges: Allows you to merge text from one file into another file. This is particularly useful for generating
    many files that have the same format but different data. Generating mailing labels is the classic example
    of using merges.

    spell checker : A utility that allows you to check the spelling of words. It will highlightany words that it
    does not recognize.

    tables of contents and indexes:Allows you to automatically create a table of contents and index based
    on special codes that you insert in the document.

    thesaurus:A built-in thesaurus that allows you to search for synonyms without leaving the word
    processor.

    windows : Allows you to edit two or more documents at the same time. Each document appears in a
    separate window. This is particularly valuable when working on a large project that consists of several
    different files
