It is a word processing program designed for creation of documents, such as CV, letters, fax cover sheets, reports, legal documents, brochures, manuals and more. It is an efficacious tool for students, business people and even individuals.
Word application was developed by Microsoft Ltd. It was introduced to the market under the name Multi-Tool Word. The first addition was introduced in the eighties. Since that time, there have been developed several other versions, including the latest addition introduced in 2008. The next addition of Word is said to come to the market in the coming year.

Although Word is a constituent of the Microsoft Office system, it is also sold as a standalone software package and included in Microsoft Works Suite. Starting from the 2003 addition, the branding was modified to emphasize Word's identity as a constituent within the Office Suite. The company renamed Microsoft Word into Microsoft Office Word.
Microsoft Word's file formats are denoted either by a. doc or. docx file extension. The newer ".docx" extension denotes the Office Open XML international standard for Office documents and is deployed by Word 2007 for Windows, Word 2008 for the Macintosh.

Word provides tools to format fonts, add clipart, add page numbers, as well as create headers and tables. There is even an "office assistant" cartoon that can direct a user done the creation of a document or answer any questions that arise. |
