Description

Microsoft Word, as the name suggest, is word processing software. The word “word processing” may look new to some of you but there’s a big history behind it. In other words, Word Processing software is an application that lets you write and format your content, the way you want with the help of an editor and a formatter. Microsoft word has served the same purpose for many years and it has become a part of every pc and every user around the world.

Microsoft word has been introduced in many versions like word 97, word 2000, Microsoft word 2003 and among all of them the latest version of word is Microsoft word 2007. Microsoft word has always been a powerful program since its introduction from the beginning but now, with the introduction of Microsoft word 2007, Microsoft has brought a revolution in the history of computers. The latest version of Microsoft word includes many more features than ever expected to simplify the user’s experience and to provide them with the tools they require.

Perhaps, this new version of Microsoft word includes new look and feel of the program making it more user friendly.

Also, it includes a word count toolbar at the bottom that counts the details about your document i.e. the no. of characters, no. of words, etc.

• Documents made better and faster

How will you react if you had to type a 10 page document within a single afternoon? I would have definitely died of tension but the new version of Microsoft word won’t let me die because it allows users to easily create documents by using templates and also, simplifies the guesswork, thereby providing you your content in the least possible time and with an enhanced look.

This way you save time and trouble of creating copying and pasting the same content or picture again and again.
