A word processor is a specific type of application software that allows you to prepare text electronically on your PC. This includes preparing letters, memos, reports, and any other text-based material.

The word processor gives you the power to create, edit, format and print text. This power is magnified by the sophisticated help function that is built into the word processor that can easily remind you about how to do something, or show you how to perform an entirely new task. All this is accomplished efficiently and effectively at your PC.
